Abhishek Bachchan reminds you in bits of his illustrious father (Amitabh Bachchan appears in a cameo here) especially when he is delivering a sozzled monologue, but remains a trope.

Director R Balki spins a heartwarming tale that celebrates gutsy people who are not defined by physical and emotional limitations in this cricket drama.

Culture Mix

Ghoomer drags on for a little too long and has some familiar clichés that are often found in movies about sports underdogs. However, the performances of Saiyami Kher and Abhishek Bachchan are impactful. The cricket matches are also thrilling to watch.

What a brilliant, authentic and soulful movie. What stood out alos for me was the nitty details such as the technical dimension of the actual cricketing shots & players being top notch as well. Not sure why critics rating is low? (Quite random). Must watch!
