After
a
long
wait,
Ranveer
Singh's
much
anticipated
sports
drama
83
finally
hit
the
big
screens
on
December
24.
However,
the
Kabir
Khan
directorial
failed
to
meet
to
the
expectations
at
the
box
office
and
began
its
journey
on
a
slow
note
with
Rs
12.64
crore.
The
movie
based
on
India's
historic
win
in
1983
World
Cup,
minted
a
total
collection
of
Rs
60.99
crore
in
five
days
(all
language
collection).
Talking
about
its
box
office
collection
on
Day
6,
early
estimates
hint
that
the
Ranveer
Singh-starrer
collected
Rs
5.80
crore.
Meanwhile
in
an
interview
with
Variety,
Ranveer
revealed
that
he
prepared
for
the
role
of
Kapil
by
initially
watching
archival
footage
of
the
former
Indian
cricket
captain
and
even
stayed
as
a
guest
in
their
house
for
two
weeks
where
he
closely
observed
the
legendary
cricket.
"They
were
so
warm
and
welcoming,
they
treated
me
like
their
own
son.
It
was
in
that
phase
I
started
picking
up
all
of
the
ammo
that
I
needed
to
create
his
character.
He
came
to
train
me
in
cricket,
showed
me
the
nuances
of
his
batting
style,
of
his
bowling
action.
He's
a
brilliant,
remarkable
human
being,
an
absolute
alpha
and
a
very
inspiring
person.
So
all
the
time
that
I
spent
with
him
was
some
of
the
highlights
of
my
life,
because
I
learned
so
much
and
was
so
inspired
by
him," Singh
was
quoted
as
saying.
