Ghoomketu Movie Review:
Clad in colourful clothes, the film’s oddball protagonist breaks the fourth wall by striking unfunny conversations with you throughout. It’s a pity that a film which revolves around an aspiring writer has such unimaginative writing. It’s testament to the common notion that anyone can write.
Written and directed by Pushpendra Nath Misra, Zee5’s Ghoomketu, shuttles between three things — the small towner’s naïveté, life in Mumbai and his strange family in Mahona. Sadly, not a single track is funny. The family is unnecessarily loud, life in Mumbai is drab and Nawaz tries to uplift the mediocre source material, but to no avail. The role is not worth his mettle as an actor and you know that he knows it as well.
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.8 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 2372.
Critics Rating by Renuka Vyavahare , from Times Of India give 0 star out of 5 Star.
