Ghoomer is loosely based on the true-life story of a late athlete who suffered a catastrophic hand injury and went on to won two Olympic gold. Balki's has co-written it with Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani and the film rides heavily on empathy. With a strong writing and uncomplicated screenplay, he effortlessly manages to make you connect with his characters. Be it Anina's struggle or Paddy's despair, you feel empathetic towards both. While Anina's condition makes you feel helpless, at no point Balki shows her in a pitiable state and that I truly liked.
