Virender Sehwag Praises Cricket Drama ‘Ghoomer’ as a Compelling and Emotion-Filled Film
Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag recently took to social media to rave about the recently released cricket drama film ‘Ghoomer’. Sehwag, known for his aggressive batting style, expressed his admiration for the movie and its portrayal of the sport and its associated emotions. He stated that watching ‘Ghoomer’ had brought him great joy, as it had been a while since he had seen a cricket-centric film.
Sehwag’s praise for ‘Ghoomer’ stems from its ability to capture the struggles and emotions faced by sportspeople, particularly the intense journey of returning to the game after an injury. The film revolves around the character played by Saiyami Kher, who loses her right arm in an accident but is coached by Abhishek Bachchan to play for the Indian cricket team single-handedly.
In his review, Sehwag also acknowledged the impressive performance of Saiyami Kher, specifically her skillful spinning of the ball. Sehwag, who is known for his preference for facing fast bowlers, admitted that he does not usually respect spinners. However, he was enthralled by Kher’s spinning act in the film. Sehwag also commended Abhishek Bachchan for his acting, stating that his portrayal of a coach was captivating and deserving of attention.
‘Ghoomer’, directed by R. Balki, boasts an ensemble cast that includes Shabana Azmi and Angad Bedi. The film also features a cameo appearance by Amitabh Bachchan as a commentator. The early reviews of ‘Ghoomer’ have been encouraging, with Harsha Bhogle expressing his love for the film earlier.
Sehwag concluded his review by urging people to watch ‘Ghoomer’ with their families on August 18th. He emphasized that the film has the potential to inspire viewers and expressed his love for the game of cricket. Sehwag also humorously suggested that audiences should be prepared with tissues as ‘Ghoomer’ is expected to evoke tears.
Abhishek Bachchan responded to Sehwag’s review, expressing his gratitude for the former cricketer’s kind words. Bachchan, echoing the sentiment of his father Amitabh Bachchan, who has a cameo in the film, stated that he loves both the game of cricket and Virender Sehwag.
‘Ghoomer’ has struck a chord with cricket enthusiasts and those seeking a compelling drama that delves into the emotional journey of a sportsperson. The film combines the power of cricket with heartfelt storytelling, making it an appealing watch for all.
