Ranveer Singh starring 83 released on December 24th, 2021 after much delay due to the pandemic. Even before its release, it had already received tremendous response from critics for its nostalgic depiction of 1983 World Cup – portraying Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev leading his team Kapil’s Devils to victory against all odds in the tournament. With positive reviews and good audience feedback coming in already, it took home 5 million UAE Dirhams (5.29 million US dollars) at the U.A.E./GCC box office over nine days since its release date; living up to expectations despite an earlier hiccup with a small portion of negative criticism concerning lack of originality about the plotline and character portrayal.
