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.

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.
