TOI: "Ghoomer is elevated by its performances but its soul lies in R Balki, Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani’s uplifting writing that makes you both teary-eyed and chuckle. “Woh leftie nahi left hi hai” says Paddy to Rasika describing Anina. Characters are refreshingly supportive, non-judgmental, unpretentious and good-hearted."
Newsroom: "Ghoomer presents a mixed verdict, as its heart lies in its emotive resonance while the mind grapples with occasional narrative inconsistencies. The film’s strength lies in its ability to forge a human connection with its audience. Despite its flaws, the genuine emotional core makes Ghoomer a worthwhile watch."
