Playing victim of patriarchy in 'Bulbbul' was challenging: Paoli Dam

As someone whose filmography boasts of headstrong characters, both in Hindi and Bengali cinema, Paoli Dam says it was interesting to switch to playing a victim in writer-director Anvita Dutt’s revisionist story “Bulbbul”. The Netflix film is being praised for subverting the ‘chudail’ (witch) legend into a powerful feminist drama about the coming-of-age of a woman in late 19th century Bengal. Dam, one of the biggest names in Bengali cinema, plays Binodini, the sister-in-law to Tripti Dimri’s Bulbbul.
