In addition to five Filmfare Awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021, Tarun Majumdar received the Padma Shri in 1990. In a 2015 interview regarding his works, Tarun Majumdar stated, “I have always been fascinated by human relationships and ideals. I believe that a man’s aim is to improve himself as a person. I believe I have a greater understanding of the middle-class environment and have therefore interpreted it in many ways on film.
