An engaging, gentle family drama that flips open crypts of the mind and the heart and probes the discomfiting secrets and fears that lie buried down there, Gulmohar, celebrates the healing potential of kinship even as it confronts the trauma of disruption brought on by quirks of destiny or as repercussions of individual decisions.
Gulmohar's relatability factor is its biggest strength. The show consists of extremely flawed yet relatable characters who go through the kind of problems that most people face in their daily lives. There are very common family dynamics that have been touched upon, like the ones of the father and the son, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, and the husband and the wife among other dynamics, which not only help grab immediate attention but also keep viewers totally invested in the subject matter.
The cinematography is first rate and the performances are layered and nuanced. The direction by Rahul Chittella is very effective. Manoj Bajpayee and Sharmila Tagore were the backbone of this drama, with supporting characters providing strong performance as well.
My Rating : 8/10.
