The Kabir Khan-directed movie 83 starring Ranveer Singh was highly anticipated when it came out last week. It drew an overwhelmingly positive reaction from audiences for its clever mixture of sports and cinema about India’s legendary win in 1983 at the Cricket World Cup, attracting fanatics both old and new across social media sites during its first release.
In this Box Office Report, we examine the opening-weekend collection of 83 while comparing it to past releases from 2021. With a total revenue of Rs 47 crore, the Ranveer Singh starrer has managed to earn only second place among all other openers; yet becoming an impressive feat for its very first release year. While Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi tops the list with Rs 77 crore, 83 manages to make up for some ground against Antim – The Final Truth (18 crores), Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (14 crores), Tadap (13 crores) and Bellbottom (12 crores). Additionally, many films like Roohi (12 crores), Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1 (11.8 crore), Satyameva Jayate 2 (9.7 crore) and Mumbai Saga also earned lesser than what 83 did during its debut weekend run!
As of now, it is predicted that 83 will continue to grow despite some competitors with the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home and Pushpa. Trade predictions show that stability in business has been maintained for 83.
