Ghoomer's underperformance at the box office
Despite glowing positive reviews, Ghoomer underperformed at the box office. Released in cinemas on August 18, Ghoomer got steamrolled because of the phenomenon of Gadar 2 and OMG 2, released a week before Ghoomer (August 11). A few weeks after Ghoomer, R Balki opened up about the failure of Ghoomer, and he confessed that the film didn't get sandwiched but smashed. While speaking to Indian Express, Balki said that they did not have any other release date. He further added if Ghoomer had come along with Gadar 2, they may have been better off. "Gadar 2 did better in the second week. Nobody expected this kind of a thing. We thought everyone would do well and we could have the second week. This kind of tsunami was not expected."
"The word of mouth was too much for other films. Yes, even Ghoomer had that and it did make people go to theatres, it still is going on. But sometimes you need a proper showcasing, which we couldn’t get," the filmmaker added. Summarising the box office fate of Ghoomer, R Balki called it "unfortunate."
