Hindi cinema should never stop making films about films and their inside world and how an outsider wishes to break into it. If Ram Gopal Varma's Rangeela was a film that highlighted a woman's journey from a background dancer to a star, Zoya Akhtar's Luck By Chance was a charming ode to Bollywood and its dark side that's often fended off by its glamour. Writer-director Pushpendra Nath Misra's Ghoomketu is a movie that tells the story of someone without whom there would probably be no movies - a writer.

This writer is played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who plays the eponymous character and resides with his eccentric family in Uttar Pradesh's Mahona. His family comprises of Raghuvir Yadav (father), Ila Arun (aunt), and Swanand Kirkire (uncle), all with their own quirks and unconventional qualities. There's also a mysterious wife who Ghoomketu thinks was mistakingly exchanged at his wedding ceremony. This comedy about a writer's aspirations to be in Bollywood was completed in 2014, and it comes to us nearly six years later.
