Every family that looks perfect outside, has its problems and secrets. This is the theme of "Gulmohar," which is one of the revered family dramas lately to be churned from Bollywood. The film beautifully unravels the crises pertaining in the members of a family residing in an ancestral bungalow of Delhi. The members are dealing with several issues in their life like quest to find one's biological parent, the generation gap, persistence and frustration in career, sexuality, and keeping to put up with the family relations.
The film has several shades to its characters, which just get fully assorted in the drama; and all give a fantastic performance. A film has much of controlled performances, notably from Amol Palekar, Manoj Bajpayee, and Sharmila Tagore. The pace of the film is obviously very slow, but it's the beauty with which the characters and drama unravel makes it worth watching.
Rating: 2.5 stars out of 4.
