Produced by Hope Film Makers and Saraswati Entertainment, Ghoomer is an emotional story with multiple layers.

The coach gives her new hope, trains her with unconventional techniques and invents a Ghoomer bowling style to turn her fate around. ‘Ghoomer’ shows how people can win over tough times and get another shot at success beating all odds.
