Ghoomer Movie Review

The only thing that’s not in favour of Ghoomer is that the first half is pretty slow. The story takes a little time to build. And not to forget, the story gets predictable after a point.

Director R Balki pulls out the stops and squeezes every ounce of mush from a supercharged sports comeback drama that has no room for grey areas.

The film struggles a bit towards the end. It gets a tad predictable and crowd pleasing (match portions) as the creative liberties get a bit excessive.

There is something about an underdog story with the backdrop of sports that is yet to lose its appeal. The passion and resilience required to master a sport in itself is reflected in the main character’s desire to tackle strife.

Ghoomer had a modest start at the box office, earning Rs 0.85 crore on its opening day. On the second day, the film saw a slight increase in collections, bringing in Rs 1.20 crore, and on the third day, it earned Rs 1.50 crore.

Ghoomer has all the right intentions. It is not a story of sympathy but empathy. It isnt trying to be a sob fest about a woman losing her right arm, but a tale of revering strength to fight back.
