Ralph R Bulbbul is a visually stunning mix of folklore, horror, and drama. The story starts strong, flows smoothly into the second act, and ends with a satisfying climax. While the themes are interesting, they don’t get explored as deeply as they could have. The pacing has some slow moments, but if you’re binging, it’s not a big issue. Predictability is there, but that’s common in movies these days. The cinematography is the film’s strongest point. The red-tinted visuals create a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere that fits the story well. Editing and framing add to the mood, making even simple moments feel intense. The CGI, however, is a weak spot. Some effects feel off and take away from the immersion rather than adding to it. Directing is solid, but some scenes could have had more impact with tighter execution. The lead performance is great, bringing depth and emotion to the role. Supporting actors do well, though some feel underused. The script works but plays it safe, missing chances to dig deeper. The score adds to the eerie vibe without being overbearing. Overall, Bulbbul is worth a watch for its visuals and atmosphere, but it doesn’t fully capitalize on its potential. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Christian K Visually strong with a really good central performance. There is a ton of effort and screen time put into the central mystery of who is the 'demon-woman' that is killing everybody? Unfortunately, its the most obvious and in your face answer that's that is so overtly hinted at I almost expected it to be a fakeout, but no, it's Bulbbul. Could of used more from the killing and scary scenes, but I think they went conservative on those cause their is a very rough extended sexual assault scene to get through in this.

Completely blew my mind Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Pavit M Predictable. Tries to sensationalise trauma and oppression. The dialogue is terrible. Unnecessarily drawn out. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent watch, the story is a little predictable, but the acting is really good, especially by the female lead (overall lead). Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Phenomenal cinematography, set design and the story unfolds so beautifully. Based on the fable of she-demons in many south Asian cultures, this story lets you know that the real horror is not some ghost hiding in the woods, but the brutality that women suffer as the second sex. Highly recommend! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
