Sharing his experience, Sehwag said that he loved how the film was a blend of cricket and emotions that a cricketer goes through. He also revealed that he is not exactly a fan of spinners and never listened to his coaches, but he loved Abhishek’s work in the movie. The former cricketer then urged the people to watch the film as it has the potential to inspire many.
His review went viral and people had all kinds of reactions to it. Some respected his view and agreed to watch the film, while others called it a paid promotion. “Paid tweet done by sehwag,” a user said. “Veeru paaji ne bol diya bas baat khatam (Must be true if he is saying it),” added a second. “Veeru is always great. Sure Sir we will wath this movie,” wrote a third. “Sir ji, is tweet ke kitne charge kiye? (How much did you charge for the tweet?)” another asked.

"Was intrigued by a cricket film #GhoomerInCinemas which had people I knew @SaiyamiKher @Imangadbedi @juniorbachchan and made by Balki. Particularly by how they would do the cricket parts.
