'Ghoomer' is an inspiring story directed by ace filmmaker R Balki. Abhishek Bachchan is seen as a coach of a paraplegic cricketer played by actress Saiyami.
'Ghoomer' trailer begins with Abhishek Bachchan who in a drunken state asks, "Logically, ek haath se kya koi desh ke liye khel sakta hain? (can someone with just one hand play for the country)". He answers, "No. Lekin ye life na logic ka khel nahi hai. Ye life magic ka khel hai (But life is not about logic, but magic)". Saiyami plays Anina who is a cricketer of the Indian cricket team. But her life turns topsy turvy after she meets an accident and loses her right hand. This breaks her down and she even thinks of committing suicide. But, all thanks to her coach Abhishek who encourages her and she gives her life a second chance as she begins her training. It's a hard path but she doesn't give up and her coach always pushes her to excel. We also get a glimpse of Amitabh Bachchan in the trailer.
