Picture of cricket on the pitch
On-screen cricket
innings ranged from 'Ek Nazar Mein Dil Bechara Ho Gaya' LBWB in Subodh
Mukherjee's 'Love Marriage' (1959) to Dev Anand's 'Ek Nazar Mein Dil Bechara Ho
Gaya' addressed to Mala Sinha sitting in the stadium, to 'Avval Number' (1990)
starring, produced and directed by Dev Anand himself. There are many films of
him and Aamir Khan in the film Cricket. In 'Love Marriage' the one-sided
pictorial of Dev Anand batting is a big joke.
Cricket gained prominence on the silver screen with the Aamir Khan Productions film Lagaan (2021) directed by Ashutosh Gowariker. In fact, it's kind of made up. One and a half hundred years ago, in a remote village in Gujarat, an impromptu pastoralist proposed a cricket match to get the British 'lagan' (agricultural rent) waived. As cricket is our natural game, the ego of the English is heavy, while these shepherds learn cricket from scratch. Overcome many obstacles and win by working hard. At the same time, many kinds of drama and things are intertwined in this screenplay. So the film became heavy.
Directed by Nagesh
Kukunar, 'Iqbal' (2005) is based on the life of Bhagwat Chandrasekhar, a
one-time Indian cricket team spinner. Shreyas Talpade got this role
through real cricket obsession. 'Dhoni The Untold Story' (2016) biopic on
the life of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, directed by Neeraj Pandey. A very good
piece of art, some 'all-rounders' etc had cricket in them. In this same
cricket on screen, R. A sequel to 'Ghoomar' (2023) directed by
Balki. A 134-minute story made with entertainment value close to reality. The
film engages us on an emotional level. Of course R. Being a
masterpiece directed by Balki, our approach towards this film is bound to be
seen differently. This is R. Balki's success. Due to films such
as Chini Come (2007), Paa (2009), Shamitabh (2015), Ki and Ka (2016), Padman
(2018), R. The belief grew that Balki would bring something
different. Since film is the director's medium, the film comes to the
screen from his vision. Ghumar is written by R. It is by Balki, Rishi
Veermani and Rahul Sengupta.
As the central premise
of 'Ghoomar', Anina (Siami Kher) is a cricket lover since childhood. Now
when he is getting older, he is playing good cricket. She is supported by
her mother (Shabana Azmi), father (Shivendra Singh Dungarpur), her childhood
friend Jeet (Angad Bedi) and even before playing first-class cricket, she gets
selected in the cricket team that goes to England. But Padmasingh Sodhi
aka Paddy (Abhishek Bachchan), who unfortunately doesn't get a chance in the
Test cricket team again after playing a one-time cricket match while practicing
nets, is constantly under the influence of alcohol due to frustration. He
comments on Anina's choice by pointing out the flaws in her
playing. (Movie Cricket Shoot)
In such an accident,
she loses her right arm. Now what about her dream of becoming a great
cricketer? She and her family were distraught and disappointed. In
this difficult situation, Paddy extends a helping hand to Anina. Although
batting with one hand is not possible, bowling is possible. This
construction is difficult and laborious. 'Ghumar' is the journey of
Paddy's strict teachings even under the influence of alcohol and the
hardworking Anina's equal determination. Life is colored by dialogues like
magic ka khel nahi, logic ka khel hai. It is an inspiring story that one
can succeed even in very difficult situations. (Movie Cricket Shoot)

Although the writer
and director avoid going deeper, the film is gripping. The climax is
effective. The references that cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi is
successful even though he can see with only one eye become
important. Former spinner Bishan Singh Bedi is also in one
instance. Finally, Amitabh Bachchan played the role of
commentator. Sandesh Kulkarni and Pankaj Vishnu are also
commentators. But Pankaj Vishnu is only visible. He wanted some more
footage. 'Ghumar' is a bit different in a film about cricket. A
sports movie is sometimes a struggle saga. But the emotional part of it
should come together. 'Ghumar' does exactly that.
