Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher are gearing up for the release of their upcoming sports drama, Ghoomer. Speaking about the film, Abhishek’s father and legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan took to his blog, saying that he watched it twice, leaving him teary-eyed.
"So yes, I saw Ghoomer back to back twice.. Sunday afternoon.. and then at night again.. and the verdict is beyond mention.. simply incredible.. eyes have been in the aqua flow from the very first frame.. and when the progeny is involved, they flow copiously.. and each reaction has some wonder in their thoughts, words, and deeds.. each notices something that is so endearing and appealing," Big B wrote in his post.
He further elaborated and said that the emotions relate to the game of cricket and the tale of a girl and her ambition. But it is really the feel of the depiction and its impression upon not just the game but also the effect of family, of the mother, of what middle India stands for in our lives. Praising the director of the film, R Balki, Amitabh wrote, "It is the simplicity of the way the narration occurs. It is the deftness with which R. Balki has knitted before us, in the simplest of manners, a most complex idea.. of losers and winners.. of what each one of us has been through."
He concluded the post saying, "Each of us ..each one of us have faced failure at some point or the other in our lives .. and we are aware and know how it feels .. but .. how does a winner feel when he succeeds .. that is the challenge we all face .. we all strive for .. we all struggle for .. and then when we find that door is shut .. we break it open and ENTER .. to achieve what we have wanted to all our lives ..that is the learning .. the template of living ..and when it is portrayed in a most creative subtle manner .. the respect and applaud is tremendous."
R. Balki’s Ghoomer also stars Angad Bedi and Shabana Azmi. Set to hit theatres on August 18, the film received a standing ovation at the opening night of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) 2023.
On the work front, Amitabh is set to return to television screens with the 15th edition of his hit quiz-based show, Kaun Banega Crorepati.
