The 14th edition of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), the largest Indian film festival outside of India and the proud winner of multiple accolades, has been long anticipated. The festival, which will run from August 11 to August 20, 2023, aims to enthral viewers with a memorable opening night that creates the setting for an exceptional cinematic experience.
The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne is thrilled to showcase the Ghoomer movie. The much-awaited film by R Balki is the festival opener. The festival is preparing for one of its most outstanding opening nights to date. With Abhishek Bachchan, Saiyami Kher, Angad Bedi, and Shabana Azmi in the lead roles, “Ghoomer” portrays the inspiring tale of a paraplegic athlete, played by Saiyami Kher, who flourishes as a cricketer under the direction of her coach, played by Abhishek Bachchan. One of the most effective storytellers in Indian cinema, R Balki is known for his emotionally charged storylines.
Ghoomer movie:
The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne is already gaining prominence on a global scale, and its opening night on August 12th, 2023, is expected to be a spectacular occasion with participation from the film’s illustrious cast and creators. An awe-inspiring journey showcasing the best of Indian cinema begins with this momentous occasion.
It’s truly an honour and a joy for us that Ghoomer would be the opening picture at the IFFM, declared Balki and Abhishek Bachchan in a joint comment. The story of Ghoomer shows how to use difficulty to your advantage. A tale of ingenuity in the face of extinction. Ghoomer pays homage to both sport and the capacity for human resiliency. It only makes sense that a movie about the idea that “Sport makes life worth living” would be released in Australia, the home of the MCG, which is also known as the “Sports Capital of the World.” Welcome to the Ghoomer first peek.
Saiyami Kher:
Saiyami continues, “I am thrilled & extremely honoured that Ghoomer will be the opening film at IFFM. This movie is very dear to my heart. I’ve been achieving my lifelong desire of participating in sports on screen ever since I began acting. I’m so happy it has at last materialised. This movie, in my opinion, goes much beyond sports. It is a tale of triumph over overwhelming hardship. It was the most emotionally and physically taxing picture I’ve ever worked on. Also, It seems very meaningful that Ghoomer movie will be seen by viewers for the first time at IFFM. Coming to the homeland of the great Shayne Warne to screen our film couldn’t have been better.”
The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne is setting the bar even higher this year by putting up an amazing roster of events at well-known locations all throughout Melbourne. These historic locations, including the esteemed National Gallery of Victoria and the renowned Hammer Hamer Hall, will serve as the setting for a number of exciting festival activities.
