After Satyameva Jayate, Manoj Bajpayee is back with a psychological drama Gali Guleiyan which tells the story of a man who gets trapped in the bylanes of Chandni Chowk, Delhi. The movie features the adolescent non-actor Om Singh as a victim of child abuse. Significantly, Om suffered domestic violence of the most brutal kind at the hands of his real-life father and brother until he could take it no more.
The movie has been lauded by the critics for its gripping yet disturbing storyline which has been nicely weaved into a masterpiece. Manoj Bajpayee's performance has also been appreciated by the audience. The movie is directed by Dipesh Jain and also stars Shahana Goswami, Ranvir Shorey and Neeraj Kabi among others.
However, the movie has opened to a very low response in theatres and in some parts of the country the morning shows also reportedly got cancelled. The film has travelled and screened across more than 23 film festivals and received positive response.
Meanwhile, check out what audience has to say about Manoj Bajpayee starrer Gali Guleiyan.
"Hi friends, pls get some relief from your run of the mill stuff and watch #GaliGuleiyan It's seriously very disturbing yet worth watching. One more feather in dear friend & mentor @BajpayeeManoj 's cap. Congratulations & best wishes
#ReleasingToday," a Twitter user wrote after watching the film.
"Go watch #GALIGULEIYAN today! It's one of best movies to come out this year," another user tweeted.
"Not a single show for #GaliGuleiyan in Varanasi. Not even a single show. That is not fair at all.
Movies lyk #SatyamevJayate is still running nd not a single show for a movie which is deserving," a user, who wanted to watch the film, expressed his disappointment.
"I'm so excited for Gali Guliyan and cannot find a single show in Ghaziabad, not even a single theatre is showing Gali guliyan in Ghaziabad," another user tweeted.
