A well-made family drama is always a good watch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The lighthearted nature of the subject also helps keeping the mood in check. Anni Manchi Sakunamule, loosely translated to ‘all are good omens,’ is another feel-good family entertainer because it takes the viewers through families, love, conflicts, friendship, and reconciliation in the breeziest manner without indulging in over-the-top drama but sticking to the right kinds of dialogues and emotions.

Gulmohar (Disney+Hotstar)
Directed by Rahul V Chittella
Rahul V Chittella has worked extensively with Mira Nair. It shows in his debut film. Gulmohar is like Mira’s Monsoon Wedding without a wedding, or for that matter, even a semblance monsoonal bliss.
There is a peculiar sterility and joylessness about the characters, scattered and rudderless even as they speak repeatedly about keeping the family together, they seem to have little interest in actually sharing the same roof.
Chittella and his co-writer Arpita Mukherjee spread out the plot onto a wafer-thin canvas. For such a tediously skimpy scenario to come alive, one needed a more dedicated storytelling and performances. Tragically the actors seldom get a chance to have a say, let alone cohere in a familial clasp.
This family doesn’t believe in group hugs. The matriarch Kusum Batra(Sharmila Tagore) makes much out of keeping the family together. But she...
