The Ranveer Singh-starring movie 83 was released this past Friday. It’s directed by Kabir Khan, who directs films about the India’s win at the 1983 World Cup. The film has been well-received by both audiences and critics alike. It brought in Rs 47 crore during its opening weekend – surpassing expectations for what it will earn in theatres over its entire lifetime in theaters.
In this box office report, we compare opening weekend grosses for the movie 83 to other movies starring Ranveer Singh. Collecting Rs. 47 cr, 83 becomes one of Ranveer’s top five highest opening weekend grossers. Interestingly, the film managed to beat Bajirao Mastani which collected Rs. 46.77 cr over its first three days in theaters; and also amassed more than Gunday (Rs 43.93cr), Dil Dhadakne Do (Rs 37.05 cr), Befikre (Rs 34.36cr) or Kill Dil (Rs 20.18cr). But as always when it comes to calculating totals – there’s no beating Padmaavat that earned Rs 114 crores, followed by Simmba (Rs 75 crore), Gully Boy (Rs 72 crore) or Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela (Rs 52 crore).
Currently, 83 is running with audiences thronging to theaters for the show. Although there are other productions like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Pushpa, which Kabir Khan directed – it managed to maintain its hold at the box office. As predicted by trade experts, 83 will grow in revenue this week and probably next.
