‘83’ box office first weekend collection: Ranveer Singh’s sports drama rakes in Rs 44 crore – Times of India
Gujarat, Mysore and East Punjab circuits have done well for the movie. However in other markets, the film faced stiff competition from the Hindi dubbed version of ‘Pushpa’. The opening day of ‘83’ also spelled trouble with mass pockets recording low collection. However, ‘83’ was doing well in Delhi but it will no longer have night shows due to the curfew restrictions.
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.
