I just watched #Gulmohar with the incredible #Sharmilatagore & magician @BajpayeeManoj. A film about family& love with all it dysfunctional glory & warts & capacity to rejuvenate, a love letter to Delhi. Wept and missed my own family, brilliant film, best of the year pic.twitter.com/P4KKZaVMXk

Sweet little film n a bright debut for #rohitchitella@BajpayeeManoj has now reached a pt in his career where if his name is in the titles, it’s reason enough to watch his film
Also very pleasantly surprised by Simran who plays his wife; exquisitely nuanced pic.twitter.com/zKeVBunv9e
Watch #Gulmohar. @BajpayeeManoj is just so bloody good. The film speaks most through its silent moments. It is a deft, moving and warm debut feature by @rahulchittella. #SharmilaTagore is breathtakingly lovely. Enjoyed the entire ensemble.

We need to see more of Sharmila Tagore in movies! All grace and brilliance. Loved the cute twist to her character in #Gulmohar . #GulmoharOnHotstar

There is a scene in #Gulmohar where @BajpayeeManoj reads a legal letter, while reading the letter his hands and eyes speaks more than what is written on that paper… For me that was the best scene, it was filled with anger, emotions, heartbreak, anxiety, almost everything…

Watched @rahulchittella ‘s #Gulmohar & I find it very moving family drama. It is a beautiful film where 4 to 5 stories of different relationships are woven with a tight screenplay. The film is so relatable & progressive. Chemistry b/w @BajpayeeManoj & #SharmilaTagore >3 pic.twitter.com/xUUqTLWteU

#Gulmohar is a wonderful story about a family. It’s got some unexpected twists & the director @rahulchittella tips his hat to his mentor #MeeraNair with the plot & he got Amol Palekar to play a villain 😉

One of the finest things about #Gulmohar is it’s large ensemble cast – many (I must confess) I “discovered” for the first time. Great casting by #DilipShankar and team. But as Namrata said very few of them are listed on IMDb. cc: @rahulchittella https://t.co/qKdHnwCtLt

Some movies do not require any criticism and/or review. #Gulmohar is one of them. What a great family movie painted by the beautiful emotions.

If I were a filmmaker, my #1 choice would be @BajpayeeManoj ALL THE TIME.

And if he chose not to do the movie, I would trust his instinct and scrap the script.
He is the G.O.A.T in Bollywood. No questions asked.#Gulmohar was a treat, thanks to him.
this hit way too hard #Gulmohar pic.twitter.com/rRsDAzO8hb
