Bulbul Can Sing

7/10

Somehow satisfied as a whole movie, but disappointed particularly with the ending

I love the way how they portrayed the common high school life in rural areas of Assam. But I expected a better ending.

Not a Bollywood flick

People who are only think of Bollywood when think about Indian Cinema, regardless of being Indian or non Indian, will expect in the wrong direction and will get disappointed by this movie. Open your boundaries and you will love this. I'm not here to tell you how good the movie is. Only problem with the movie is the soud recording which I know Rima knows as well as it's her way of recording sound. Still at some points the voices are inaudible. I hope she looks into it in her future movies. Great job once again. S

The Phase of Maturity

A very commendable effort by Rima Das on portraying the life of three students in their adolescence trying their best to find meaning of their simple yet very different lives. It shows how our society have set certain moral codes and stereotypes which destroys our innocence while growing up. Simple but Deep.

Not a Fairy Tale!

Bulbul Can Sing that deals with actual reality of the society and not a fairy tale.

It is a story about a teenage girl, Bulbul, living in a village in Assam, fighting her way through love and loss as she figures out who she really is.

Real and restrained, a poignant coming of age drama in rural Assam

One must watch Village Rockstars to connect to this as well.

Brilliant visuals, beautiful story. I feel could have got more gritty dark shade to it but it's fine.

A bunch of static, great planes of India country side, with some flashes of coming of age drama.

Photography is great. Story is poor. Characters are stereotyped. There is an opressive atmosphere dictated by the place and weather. When it is sunny, the movie is funny. When the rain started, it's all grim and despair. That is. And she could not sing at all. Don't waste your time with this.

It gets deep everytime I watch!

Bulbul Can Sing is a beautiful and tragic tale of a girl named 'Bulbul'. This movie is directed by Rima Das (also the director of internationally acclaimed "Village Rockstars"). The movie is simple yet beautiful. The cinematography is marvellous. The beautiful scenes of a village of Assam coupled with the shots of loneliness is what I think to be a master-shot to capture the very essence and importance of that scene. The impact of social issues in a village is adeptly addressed and the emotionality of that scene is painful to watch. Arnali Das (Bulbul) acted brilliantly. She controls the plot beautifully and, also hats off to Manoranjan Das (Suman) and his brilliant acting to bring out the social issues facing by certain sections of men. The impact created by Bonita Thakuriya is deep. Just Brilliant!

Sic_final_verdict: Experience the beautiful yet tragic tale of an Assamese girl. Watch it now. It's worth it.

Sic_score: 8.9⭐/10

Pretty but pointless: Where's the story?

THE DAILY ROUTINE IN A VILLAGE.

This is one of the most relatable film I've ever watched. The reason behind this is that there's no such a specific story in the film. Rima Das showed us the daily routine of 3 students in their adolescence period at a small village in Assam.

I don't think anyone acted in this film, they're just doing their work and director was capturing it. They're so natural. Rima Das showed us the nature of a village in the most beautiful way. The movie deals with a lot of themes like stereotype nature of society, adolescent love, sexuality, friendship and self acceptance.

If you want to witness a whole new take on cinematic expression, this one is for you.

You can watch the film on Netflix.

It is very raw yet has may layers in it.

"Look there is rainbow", "After long time "

One could see it as in happiness of the characters but I saw it as may be there is hope for all no matter what their orientation is.
