The film has raked in decent business in Mumbai and Pune but Gujarat / Saurashtra circuit is barely contributing to the film’s collection. With the ongoing holiday period and no competition this weekend, 83 is expected to earn positively at the box office. According to boxofficeindia.com, the film currently stands at a total of Rs 57 crore nett.
Directed by Kabir Khan, ‘83’ narrates the story of the India cricket team’s iconic win during the world cup in 1983. Speaking about the film, Kabir Khan had exclusively told ETimes, “You know, 83 is a big responsibility for me. I knew if I don’t recreate this correctly, the country will not forgive me. Ditto for Ranveer: If he won’t portray Kapil correctly, the audience will not forgive him. And as you see from the trailer, he has done it brilliantly. He worked very hard.” Deepika Padukone, who is co-producing the movie, plays the role of Ranveer’s onscreen wife in this entertainer. 83 also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dinker Sharma, Nishant Dahiya, Harrdy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, Ammy Virk, Adinath Kothare, Dhairya Karwa and R Badree in pivotal roles.
