According to the official synopsis shared by Netflix, Bulbbul is an Indian fable set in 20th Century Bengal. Anushka, who has produced the film with her brother Karnesh Sharma via their banner Clean Slate Filmz, took to Twitter to share the first look of the film. “Here’s your first look at #Bulbbul, a fantastic tale about self-discovery, and justice, wrapped in lore, mystery and intrigue, coming soon on @NetflixIndia. Can’t wait to share more!” she tweeted.
The film traverses the journey of a young girl, Bulbbul, from innocence to strength, as the legend of a ‘chudail’ (witch) casts a looming shadow over her world.
Directed by longtime lyricist-dialogue writer Anvita Dutt, the mystery film also stars Rahul Bose, Paoli Dam and Parambrata Chattopadhyay, who starred opposite Anushka in her 2018 production, horror film Pari.
