83 Box Office Prediction: Will Ranveer Singh's Sports Drama Hit A Sixer At The Box Office?
After a long wait, Kabir Khan's much anticipated sports drama 83 is all set to arrive in cinema halls on Friday (December 24, 2021). The film spearheaded by Ranveer Singh in the role of former Indian captain Kapil Dev has an ensemble star cast which include names like Deepika Padukone, Pankaj Tripathi, Ammy Virk, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Saqib Saleem, Harrdy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Adinnath Kothare amongst others.
The Kabir Khan directorial encapsulates the journey of how Kapil Dev led a team from India, seen as underdogs, to bring home the country's first-ever World Cup win in 1983. Ever since the makers had announced this project a few years back, there has been a lot of curiosity around it. Even the trailer and the promos have elicitated a positive response.
Going by the current buzz around this Ranveer Singh-starrer, the film is expected to receive a positive response from the audience, however it may face some heat at the box office due to the Hollywood release Spider-Man: No Way Home and Allu Arjun's latest film Pushpa which saw a Hindi release that's raking in good numbers at the box office. Further, Shahid Kapoor's Jersey which will slated to release on December 31 might also divide its business.
Speaking about 2021, the two highest grossing films have been Akshay Kumar's Sooryavanshi which minted Rs 26.50 crore and Spider-Man: No Way Home which collected Rs 32.67 crore on first day of its release. It will be interesting to watch if Ranveer's 83 manages to beat these numbers with all the glowing reviews from the critics and celebrities.
