Description: A child bride evolves into a mysterious woman overseeing her household, carrying a haunting past as supernatural killings of men terrorize her village. Decades later, Satya returns home from London to find significant changes: Mahender, his brother, was killed in what villagers believe was an attack by a *chudail*. Mahender’s widow, Binodini, now resides in an outhouse, while Indranil, Satya’s other brother, has left the village, leaving Bulbbul in charge. Sudip, the village doctor, frequently visits to tend to Bulbbul’s injured feet, sparking jealousy in Satya. When a man is killed during a hunt, the villagers blame the *chudail*, but Satya suspects Sudip.
Flashbacks reveal that Binodini had manipulated Indranil by suggesting Bulbbul harbored feelings for Satya, leading Indranil to send Satya away to London. Heartbroken, Bulbbul burned the manuscript of the story she and Satya were writing together. Enraged by Binodini’s influence, Indranil violently attacked Bulbbul, mutilating her feet, and later, Mahender assaulted her, leading to her tragic death.
However, Bulbbul’s spirit returned with a supernatural transformation. Empowered by the goddess Kali, she became a protector of women, punishing abusive men and seeking justice. Her acts of retribution were often mistaken for the *chudail’s* deeds, characterized by backward feet. Bulbbul’s story is one of resilience and empowerment, blending folklore with a tale of vengeance against injustice.
