Anurag Kashyap shared a picture with the 'Ghoomer' star cast and wrote, "It’s been a great month at the movies , people returning to cinemas, filmmakers taking chances , Gadar 2 breaking records and OMG2 and RRKPK holding there own against the Tsunami of it. And today comes out yet another brilliant film that I saw here at @iffmelbourne."
"GHOOMER is @r.balki_kiran.blitzkrieg hitting it out of the stadium with a caustically funny @azmishabana18 and a career best from both @bachchan and @saiyami . So well written and directed and performed . It’s actually an incredibe physical performance from Saiyami Kher that she gets so right and I dare say , it’s the best shot game of cricket on indian screen . Also @ivankadasofficial and @angadbedi — what a performance . Kudos to the team."
Abhishek Bachchan who plays the role of an ex-cricketer in 'Ghoomer' commented on Anurag Kashyap's post and wrote, "Sir. Anek dhanyavaad. 🤗"
As per our in-house review, "For starters, 'Ghoomer' has nothing new to tell; it is a predictable tale of passion, talent, loss and sacrifice and then ultimate victory. It belongs more to Kabir Khan's latent school of patriotic filmmaking best exemplified by his last release '83 starring Ranveer Singh in the lead. 'Ghoomer' set in a template of predictability does nail a few things.
"One for instance, it loathes self pity for its protagonist and lead actor Saiyami Kher. Here, the writing plays a crucial role. Second, it deploys a transwoman character and yet problematically deals with her with utmost ruthlessness and brutality. Third, 'Ghoomer' has veterans like Shabana Azmi and Amitabh Bachchan who lend star and veteran power to a subject that could become easily patronized."
