Harsha Bhogle praised Ghoomer
Harsha Bhogle, a cricket commentator, praised the director R Balki. Amitabh Bachchan shared the video on his Instagram, where the commentator and cricket expert shared his views on the movie.
Harsha said in the video, “I was also a little concerned about how the cricket would be shot. We've all seen sports movies where the emotion is built up, the drama is built up and then suddenly the sport starts and you say, yeah, they tried to teach the actor cricket but it's not working. Within the first ten minutes or so, that first fear was gone."
In that video, he also praised Abhishek Bachchan's performances and said, “Then there was Abhishek Bachchan. I think he lives the role of the coach. Sometimes you can have a coach who's trying to motivate a player, whether it's the hard way or the soft way, but sometimes the lines can appear a little straight out of a motivational lecture. I love the way Abhishek married the two into his character. I could recognize a couple of cricketers the within the character that Abhishek plays, but I'll leave it for you to decide. But needless to say, he is outstanding, especially in the first half.”
