The film written and directed by R Balki, also stars Shabana Azmi and Angad Bedi in key parts. The plot centres around Anina, a female batting prodigy who loses her right hand in a terrible accident on the eve of her international cricket debut. An unsympathetic, failed and frustrated player enters her life, offers her a new goal, and transforms her fate with the most inventive training, to make her play for the Indian cricket team again, as a bowler.
Ghoomer is the new bowling style they design. It is inspired by Karoly Takacs' tremendous feat, as well as the achievements of unique athletes who have accomplished more than when they were labelled "normal." The Abhishek bachchan starrer is a narrative about overcoming adversity.
Ghoomer will also have its world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) in 2023. It will be shown at Hoyts in Docklands on August 12.
