Run Time:
95 minutes
As a teenage girl growing up in rural India, Bulbul struggles to find her place within a traditional society where women are expected to be modest and well-behaved. Her rebellious spirit and curious mind don’t exactly fit into the gender norms, and neither do those of her closest friends. Together, they escape from the outside pressures and expectations into laughter and romantic dreams… but their lack of conformity does not go unnoticed by their peers. As village gossip threatens to tear them apart, Bulbul and her friends must find a way to live authentically, listening to their hearts. With stunning realism and remarkable insight, BULBUL CAN SING follows Bulbul on her journey, through the highs and lows, to womanhood. True to life, BULBUL CAN SING is packed with both joy and tragedy, demonstrating that sometimes you have to experience hardship to find your inner voice. (In Hindi and Assamese with subtitles) —G.S.
