mediareport was kind enough to support MeFi with a donation. Their request was for six recent films that were big hits outside of the US but didn't get much attention stateside. There was a problem, though, in that I was only able to narrow the field to 14 films. Fortunately Soap_and_Bathetic kicked in an extra $15 to push me to share the entire list. I'll be using the tag #PopcornWorld

This was Anvita Dutt's debut film! It's absolutely gorgeous and I'm always down for a feminist twist on folklore. Bulbbul is a pichal peri/churel/chuṛail/chudail who take the form of a beautiful woman with long hair and only their backwards feet giveaway of their true nature.
