As India basks in the glory of the Women’s Cricket Team’s historic World Cup victory, the spirit of cricket, resilience, and inspiration is set to return to the big screen. R. Balki’s acclaimed sports drama Ghoomer — starring Abhishek Bachchan and Saiyami Kher — will re-release nationwide on November 7, as a heartfelt tribute to the champions who have made the nation proud.
A Story That Mirrors Reality
Originally released on August 18, 2023, Ghoomer tells the powerful story of Anina, a young cricketer who overcomes a life-changing setback with the help of her determined coach, portrayed by Abhishek Bachchan. Directed by R. Balki, the film captures the essence of perseverance, discipline, and redemption — qualities that now echo in the real-life triumph of the Indian women’s cricket team.
The re-release serves as a timely celebration of courage and inspiration, reminding audiences how fiction and reality can intersect to amplify hope.
R. Balki on Ghoomer’s Emotional Revival
Speaking about the re-release, director R. Balki shared,
“I’m thrilled that Ghoomer is releasing again to celebrate the incredible achievement of our women cricketers. The film was always a tribute to women’s cricket and their resilience. And they did it at the same stadium where Ghoomer was shot — two matches, one fiction, one fact, on the same pitch. I can’t wait to see audience reactions again.”
Balki’s words perfectly capture the serendipitous connection between the film’s story and India’s latest sporting triumph, turning Ghoomer into a cinematic symbol of national pride.
A Celebration of Resilience and Representation
Produced by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Abhishek A. Bachchan, Gauri Shinde, Wg Cdr Ramesh Pulapaka (Retd), and Anil Naidu, Ghoomer is more than a sports film — it’s a tribute to every woman who dares to dream, every athlete who pushes past limits, and every mentor who refuses to give up on potential.
The film’s message — that determination and guidance can rewrite destiny — feels especially resonant after the Women’s World Cup victory, making its return to cinemas both symbolic and timely.
Releasing Nationwide This Friday
The Ghoomer re-release on Friday, November 7, 2025, offers audiences a chance to relive a story of triumph at a moment when the entire nation is celebrating real-world champions.
