And today comes out yet another brilliant film that I saw here at @iffmelbourne . GHOOMER is @r.balki_kiran.blitzkrieg hitting it out of the stadium with a caustically funny @azmishabana18 and a career best from both @bachchan and @saiyami . So well written and directed and performed . It’s actually an incredible physical performance from Saiyami Kher that she gets so right and I dare say , it’s the best shot game of cricket on Indian screen. Also @ivankadasofficial and @angadbedi — what a performance . Kudos to the team.”
