Gulmohar: A Perfect OTT Family Film
Rahul Chitela, who was an assistant to director Meera Nair, co-wrote the story with Arpita Mukherjee and then directed it. Gulmohar does not promise to entertain you, but fills the heart-o-mind with a feeling where relationships and family are important, but there is also a feeling of one’s own freedom. This is a perfect OTT family film by Rahul Chitela.
Superb acting by Sharmila, Manoj
Sharmila Tagore has acted in a film even after a decade. Seeing Sharmila Tagore in the character of Kusum Batra makes you realize what a classic is. Manoj Bajpayee’s shaking hands, trembling body, becoming like Arun’s character, tells that he is not counted among the most capable actors of this era. Seeing Simran in the role of a mother in the Batra family, like seeing the light of hope amidst the dense fog….It is a wonderful work by her. Suraj Sharma has also done a great job in the character of Aditya.
