As India rejoices in the monumental World Cup win of its Women’s Cricket Team, the spirit of cricket and inspiration returns to cinemas with Ghoomer, the critically acclaimed sports drama directed by R. Balki. Starring Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher, Ghoomer is set for a special theatrical re-release this Friday, November 7, honoring the nation’s champions.
The film was released on August 18, 2023, Ghoomer tells the compelling story of a young cricketer overcoming immense personal challenges with the unwavering support of a determined coach who refuses to let her quit. Produced by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Abhishek A. Bachchan, Gauri Shinde, Wing Commander Ramesh Pulapaka (Retd), and Anil Naidu, the film explores themes of resilience, mentorship, and the indomitable spirit at the heart of Indian cricket.
Director R. Balki shared his excitement about the re-release: “I’m thrilled that Ghoomer is returning to celebrate the incredible achievement of our women cricketers. The film has always been a tribute to women’s cricket and their resilience. What makes it special is that the Indian team won at the very stadium where Ghoomer was shot. Two matches—one fiction, one fact—on the same pitch. I can’t wait to see how audiences respond again.” The film’s message resonates even more today.
The Indian Women’s Cricket Team’s historic World Cup triumph perfectly echoes the soul of Ghoomer—a story rooted in determination, discipline, and the will to break barriers. What the film portrayed on screen—the grit, grace, and glory of women shattering limits—has now come alive through the champions who have made the nation proud.
Ghoomer stands as a tribute to every dreamer who refuses to give up, and to every coach and mentor who helps them rise. This re-release not only celebrates India’s cricketing glory but also rekindles the pride, joy, and hope cherished by cricket fans everywhere. Returning to theaters this November 7, Ghoomer offers audiences a powerful reminder of spirit, resilience, and victory both on and off the field.
