Five years of Netflix's 'Bulbbul': Ahead of Kajol's 'Maa', revisiting the atmospheric thriller with a luminous cast of Triptii Dimri, Rahul Bose, Avinash Tiwary
The frames were luminous and so was the ensemble. Triptii Dimri, Rahul Bose, Avinash Tiwary immersed themselves into their characters and made them their own read more Netflix's 'Bulbbul' that was produced by Clean Slate Films (Anushka Sharma and Karnesh Sharma), completes five years today. The Hindi film landscape is currently flooded with horror stories laced with chaos and comedy. It all began with the clutter-breaking Stree and went till the record-breaking Stree 2. Between 2018 and 2024, we saw horror-comedies like Bhediya, Kapkappi, The Bhootnii, and many more. Most of them failed to scare us or laugh. But in between, there came Bulbbul that went beyond and subverted the genre and broke the cliches we usually witness in titles of such nature. It's a film about love, loneliness, longing, witches, and everything else in between. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The frames were luminous and so was the ensemble. Triptii Dimri, Rahul Bose, Avinash Tiwary immersed themselves into their characters and made them their own. Dimri was gorgeous from the first scene to the last. Tiwary was stunning and Bose was bone-chilling. Though Triptii Dimri became a face with Animal, she found Bulbbul to be more challenging than the action drama. With a film that was not everyday cinema, Triptii Dimri portrayed the emotional complexities of loss of love, life, and also pulled off scenes by showing the destructive power of female rage. She shared the screen space with the known actor, Rahul Bose, and had earlier revealed that she couldn't have asked for a nicer co-star. Triptii pulled off a role that showcased her transformation from a naïve girl to a fearless woman. Demonstrating her acting range to the fullest, Triptii picked up a layered role that was mentally exhausting and at times, she found herself getting tired of physically essaying it. Despite this, the role turned out to be rewarding for her. The actress counts on Bulbbul as a huge learning experience, and shares that there was always something new for her to learn as an actor and as a human being.
