Gulmohar
The last 4 days of the Batra family as they move out from their home of many years and shift to another city.
While they are staying in a single house there are differences and friction with many of them not in talking terms.
As the movie starts with a party you are immediately engrossed in whats happening in the family as you get to know each of the characters and their secrets as it unfolds.
Debutant director Rahul has a good mix of stalwarts and fresh starcast who do an excellent job in elevating the movie.
Manoj - He is the soul of Gulmohar. He brings multiple nuances to the character with eye to details which is a treat to to watch. His connect with his biological father, his bonding with his wife simran, his connect with his mom, his stained relationship with his son. Manoj is in full form. Watch him try to stop a fight between his watchman and supervisor and in the end hitting the watchman, thats superb acting. Also the scene in the end here he embraces his mom waiting with open arms will make you cry.
Sharmila - A comback after many years, she gives everything to the role. She is superb.
Simran - She was the surprise package with a towering performance. A sthe person who holds the family together she is great. Her scenes with manoj are scene stealer. Hope she gets to do more of similar strong roles.
There are some more stand out performances worth mentioning: Suraj Sharma stands out in his role.
Jetendra as the watchman Reshma as the house help.
