Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher act in R Balki's much awaited sports drama Ghoomer, which released in theatres today. The cast and crew of the movie, as well as well-known cricketers like Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan, among others, attended last night's gala screening event hosted by the makers of Ghoomer. In a previous review of Ghoomer, Harsha Bhogle stated that although he had some reservations before watching the movie, those reservations vanished during the first ten minutes due to how fantastic the movie is. Virender Sehwag, a cricket player, has now provided his review of Ghoomer, and he expresses great admiration for it.
After a long time, Virender Sehwag shared a video on Twitter in which he can be heard expressing that he enjoyed watching a cricket movie. “Kal maine Ghoomer picture dekhi. Bahut achchi lagi. Bahut dino ke baad cricket ki picture dekhne mein bahut anand aaya. Kyunki isme cricket to hai magar emotion bhi hai aur sportsperson ki struggle kya hoti hai iska idea bhi aajayega aapko, khaaskar injury se wapis aana kitna alag level ka struggle hai ye pata chal jayega (I watched Ghoomer yesterday, and I loved it. I enjoyed watching a cricket film after so long. It not just has cricket but emotions too. You will know the struggle of a sportsperson, and how it only elevates after coming back from an injury).”
He continued by saying that although he doesn't admire spinners, Saiyami's ability to spin the ball was just incredible. He also mentioned that he was never one to listen to his coach, but since Abhishek was so convincing in his acting, you would be foolish not to. He urged viewers to see the film and continued, “Jaise Bachchan sahab ne kaha, main bhi kah raha hu, ‘I love this game’. Dher saare aansu leke jana kyunki aapko rulayegi bhi (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).”
Amitabh Bachchan posted the video to Instagram with the caption, “Sehwag ji .. itne sadharan shabdo mein bahut badi baat kah di. Mera aabhar aur sneh (You have said such a big thing in such simple words. My gratitude and love).”
In the meantime, Abhishek Bachchan posted, “Viru Paaji, you’re a gem. कल आपसे मिलके इतना अच्छा लगा। your warmth and encouragement mean the world to us. Like @SrBachchan says “ I love this game” but also “love YOU very much”.”
