A feminist fable wrapped in folklore and gothic horror aesthetics, 'Bulbbul' won praise for its storytelling, cinematography, and strong feminist undertones. The film highlighted Anushka’s vision of pushing creative boundaries and exploring socially relevant themes.
Continuing its streak of compelling narratives, Clean Slate Filmz is set to release 'Chakda 'Xpress', a biopic on Indian cricket legend Jhulan Goswami. The film promises to bring an inspiring sports story to the forefront, showcasing the challenges and triumphs of a female cricketer in a male-dominated sport.
