Bulbul

I can't tell how excited I was to see the movie Bulbul. But I didn't get chance to watch this movie anywhere before. If you miss to watch a good Nepali film in 'Film Hall', you won't be able to watch it anywhere.

I get chance to watch Bulbul on Nepal-EU virtual film festival 2021. This film somehow reminded me of another nepali movie Saanghuro. In fact, there is nothing in this film but at the same time, it has everything. After watching it, I thought, only this type of film can save the reputation of the Nepali film industry.

'Bulbul' is artistic. The main character of 'Bulbul' is powerful. Other characters are no less. The direction is also awesome. The stories and dialogues are also excellent.

The main theme of the film is love. Film says - The only basic desire of human is love, other factors are secondary. No matter how strong the mindset is, it is the love that the mind seeks. Love is not bounded by time, situation and any other bondage like marriage. Not only achievement, loss too is love.

The only good thing was cinematography,whole movie looked as a background builder.When your 70% of thr movie in flashback you need to connect the dots properly.

The genre of this movie is horror but fear element is missing somehow.

In the review section, one guy has given this movie a 1 star and has called this movie a Bollyhood movie. This is a Nepalese movie, if you don't even know which industry a movie is from why bother reviewing it? idiot

Let's get into the review now. I will explain why this movie is the best movie and why most people don't get it.

This movie is tasteless. You heard me. There is not much this movie has to offer in terms of entertainment in any fashion. what makes this movie great is that it never intended to entertain you or give you goosebumps. It is a well crafted movie that has a lot of depth and realism in it's purest form. most people are used to watching movie with sugar coated endings where everything magically works out at the end. Well, not this movie. this movie will give you the cold reality of life as it is. It will have a lasting impact on you if you understand it. You will feel like you are there with the actress and feel the troubles she is going through. There is no lucky coincidence in this movie. the actress has to face her troubles herself and the very decisions she takes is what the movie is about.

The core message about this movie is about life's Uncertainty. The ending ( no spoilers, don't worry) best depicts the uncertainty of life. there is no sugar coated ending here. once you see the movie you would know. This movie is not for someone who wants to escape reality, it is for those who wants to embrace it.

It is a shame that people don't understand this great piece of art. mostly because they are used to watching movies made just for amusement. what a tragedy

This movie is not everyone's cup of coffee. If you have passion for art and drama, it is a gem. Story takes you to show awkward situations of life that made me cringe even at the thought of it. Swastima and Mukunda brings roles to life, awesome. My mind was still stuck and unsettled in the story for several hours. One of the very good Nepali movie.

Too much of sweetness starts to taste bitter. That is what the problem with this movie. The director wanted too much perfection with this masterpiece. He ended up by making unbearably slow and near dead second half. Second half is just unwatchable. Content is suitable for a short movie but not for more than 2 hours movie
