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.
The
advance
booking
for
this
sports
drama
began
on
Sunday,
December
19
and
as
per
early
trends,
the
movie
recorded
a
decent
advanced
booking
trend.
As
per
a
report
in
boxofficeindia.com,
the
advance
booking
of
83
opened
in
national
multiplex
chains
and
recorded
sales
of
around
15k,
going
by
this
figure,
the
movie
could
rake
in
10
crore
nett
advance
before
release.
The
Ranveer
Singh
starrer
will
bank
on
the
extended
Christmas
holiday
and
witness
a
decent
boost
in
sales.
While
the
exact
screen
count
of
83
is
still
not
public,
reports
state
that
the
sports
drama
is
expected
to
open
with
3500
screen
counts
in
India.
With
Spider-Man:
No
Way
Home
being
unstoppable
at
the
box
office,
83
will
highly
rely
on
positive
word
of
mouth
for
its
growth
in
collections.
