Ghoomketu movie rating: 1.5 stars

Can a film starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the main act be a drag? That’s the question that stared me in the face, literally, for the duration of Ghoomketu. And the answer is, yes, alack and alas.

Not that it’s Nawazuddin’s fault. For a film which revolves around a wannabe writer of Bollywood movies, he has been given the most banal, overused lines and situations. As Ghoomketu fetches up at a musty office to ask for a job, he is told, ‘kuch naya socho’. Wish the filmmakers had taken their own advice seriously.
