Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami Kher starrer ‘Ghoomer‘ has released today. The film revolves around Saiyami Kher’s character who loses her right arm in an accident and is coached by Abhishek Bachchan to play for India with one hand. The early reviews coming in for the movie are quite encouraging. While earlier, Harsha Bhogle had reviewed the movie and said he absolutely loved it, here’s what Virender Sehwag has to say now.
Sehwag took to social media and said, “Kal maine Ghoomer picture dekhi. Bahut ajhi 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 added that while he never respects spinners, Saiyami’s spinning act was praise-worthy. He added, “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).”
Abhishek responded to Sehwag and said, “Viru Paaji, you’re a gem. कल आपसे मिलके इतना अच्छा लगा। your warmth and encouragement mean the world to us. Like @amitabhbachchan says “I love this game” but also “love YOU very much”. “
