Ghoomer review: Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag reviewed Abhishek Bachchan-starrer 'Ghoomer' movie, saying it is not just about cricket but emotions too and will surely make you cry. Ghoomer was released in theatres on August 18 (Friday). The film stars Abhishek Bachchan as coach of a paraplegic cricketer, played by Saiyami Kher.
Sharing his review, Sehwag said in a video, "Kal maine Ghoomer picture dekhi. Bahut achi lagi. Bahut dino ke baad cricket ki picture dekhne mein bahut anand aaya. Kyunki isme cricket to hai magar emotion bhi hain aur sportsperson ki struggle kya hoti hai iska idea bhi aajayega aapko, khaskar injury se wapis aana kitna alag level ka struggle hai ye pata chal jayega (I watched Ghoomer yesterday. I loved it and enjoyed watching a cricket film after so long. It not just has cricket but emotions too. You will know the struggle of a sportsperson especially how coming back after an injury is struggle of another level)."
He further said, "Maine waise spinner ko respect nahi deta hu magar Saiyami Kher ne jo ghoomer dali hai wo lajawab hai. Ye role bahut hi mushkil tha magar unhone emotional kar dia. Waise main coach ki bhi sunta nahi tha magar Abhishek Bachchan ne aisi acting ki hai ki aapko unki baat zarur sunni padegi. 18 August ko Ghoomer zarur dekho family ke saath aur inspire ho jao. Jaise Bachchan sahab ne kaha, main bhi kah raha hu, 'I love this game'. Dher saare aansu leke jana kyunki aapko rulayegi bhi (I never respect a spinner but the way Saiyami has spinned the ball was amazing. I never listened to my coach but the way Abhishek has acted, you will have to listen to him. Watch Ghoomer on August 18 and get inspired. And just Like Amitabh Bachchan has said, I am also saying, 'I love this game'. Take along several tears as well as it will make you cry)."
