Great to watch all my favourite stars together after such a long time @bajpayee.manoj @itssmeamol Sharmila Tagore Vinod,” another fan added.
Well! It’s not the first time Manoj Bajpayee has talked about Gulmohar’s emotional impact on the audience. During FICCI Frames 2023, Manoj Bajpayee recalled that her daughter cried in the bathroom after watching the film. He said, “Once the film ended, my daughter went to the washroom and cried so loudly that I could feel it.”
She first refused to speak when she came out with swollen eyes, but she eventually acknowledged that Sharmila Tagore’s dadi made her think of her late “Nani,” making the encounter extremely emotional and personal for her.
Streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, the film features Sharmila Tagore, Manoj Bajpayee, Amol Palekar and Suraj Sharma in important roles. Gulmohar follows the tale of the Batra family and their ancestral house. The family gets together for one last celebration after Tagore’s character, Kusum Batra, chooses to sell the house and move to Pondicherry.
