Ranveer Singh film 83 really recreated the history of India's world cup victory.
Ranveer Singh film 83 really recreated the history of India's world cup victory in 1983. The film will do business of more than 100 crores. Kabir Khan's direction and acting of Ranveer Singh in role of Kapil Dev, Saqib Saleen in role of Mohinder Amarnath, Jivaa in role of Srikanth were outstanding. Even Pankaj Tripathi in role of Manager Man Singh was brilliant. 83 is a 2021 Indian Hindi-language sports drama film directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Deepika Padukone, Kabir Khan, Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Sajid Nadiadwala, Reliance Entertainment and 83 Film Ltd. Based on the India national cricket team led by Kapil Dev, which won the 1983 Cricket World Cup, the film's story and dialogues were co-written by Khan, along with Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan, Vasan Bala and Sumit Arora. It stars Ranveer Singh as Dev and Padukone as Romi Bhatia, Dev's wife, featuring an ensemble cast of Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dinker Sharma, Nishant Dahiya, Harrdy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, Ammy Virk, Adinath Kothare, Dhairya Karwa and R Badree. The film's soundtrack is composed by Pritam and the background score is composed by Julius Packiam. The cinematography and editing were handled by Aseem Mishra and Nitin Baid, respectively. The cricket action and choreography was coordinated by Rob Miller of ReelSports.
It was shown how India claimed respect in the eyes of the world where mighty team like West Indies with stalwarts like Sir Vivian Richards, Clive Loyad, Malcolm Marshall, Michael Holding were considered unbeatable. All the cricketers including Mohinder Amarnath winning the man of the match in the finals, Sandeep Patil, Yashpal Sharma, Roger Binny, Madanlal, Balbinder Singh Sandhu were shown to play beyond their potentials to bring incredible victory for India.
83 received critical acclaim. Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave 4 stars (out of 5), saying that "83 is a winner on pitch and on-screen too". He further wrote "Those who witnessed the victory would be glad to relive the experience, while those who didn’t, will get a chance to witness how things unfolded during one of the greatest episodes of Indian sports history". Rachana Dubey of The Times of India too gave four out of five stars, stating that "You realise this film is not about winning on a world stage, it’s about earning respect and director Kabir Khan does set a high benchmark for himself, once again". She also praised Ranveer Singh's performance for enacting Kapil Dev, and further concluded "83 does play on the nationalism rhetoric, way more than was required. At the surface, ‘83’ is about an underdog team's win. As you go deeper, with each actor effortlessly presenting himself as an iconic cricketer from the 1983 team, you tend to feel that this picture has been crafted with a skillfully written narrative, supported by nuanced and internalised performances, and each department lending its technical brilliance to it." Anuj Kumar of The Hindu reviewed that "The film not only captures the emotional heft of the success story of the underdogs, but also delivers a well-researched document in the popular idiom".
