## Reception

### Critical response

File:Ranveer Singh at Zee Cine Awards 2016 (cropped).jpgFile:Kabir Khan (director).jpg
*83* received critical acclaim.[187][188] 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".[189] 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."[190] 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".[191]

Pooja Biraia Jaiswal of *The Week* gave four-and-a-half out of five stars saying "The film is a compelling watch and you don't want to miss a single frame as every minute is accounted for". She added, "The profound feeling of a nation's victory; an underdog's unimaginable success and the emotional high of achieving the world's greatest title is something that the film has managed to bring out", further praising Singh's performance and Khan's direction.[192] Shubhra Gupta of *The Indian Express* gave three-and-a-half out of five, stating "Kabir Khan's '*83* recreates the day of 1983 Cricket World Cup Final with fidelity, and, yes, let it be said, in full Bollywood style, suffused with song, dance, drama, colour. It pads the film with a few (fictional) elements meant strictly to play to the gallery, and it skates dangerously close to pandering to the overbearing nationalistic sentiments playing out in today's India."[193] Monika Rawal Kukreja of *Hindustan Times* wrote that "Making a film based on such a historic milestone was quite a risky proposition for director Kabir Khan because you can't afford to go wrong with facts here. But the minute details and nuances in the story that he highlights in the film makes you believe in his research and dedication towards the project [...] At several places, *83* gets high on nationalism, which couldn't been easily avoided. But that's something one kind of overlooks for the pride and joy you experience on seeing the team lift that trophy. If you needed a reason to walk into a theatre, *83* is that film which calls for a big screen experience."[194]

Arnab Banerjee of *Outlook* gave four out of five, writing that "The film is a breezy entertainer fast-forwarded with deft editing and unemotional tracks."[195] Anna M. M. Vetticad of *Firstpost* gave three-and-a-half out of five saying "*83* is a stirring reminder of a time when pride in a national team's achievement united India and national pride had not yet been weaponised by the mob [...] It works nevertheless because it is a celebration, it understands the difference between opponents and enemies, and because of its cast. Each one not only looks like an actual player on the sporting field, but they imbue their respective characters with a believability that is particularly noteworthy because acted scenes are interspersed in places with actual matches yet the difference between the real cricketers and the actors playing them is not jarring."[196] Saibal Chatterjee in his review for *NDTV*, gave four stars and stated that "*83* comes pretty close to achieving the impossible. No mean feat that. The film and its principal star go for broke and, as one feeds off the other, the result is an absolute cracker."[197] Uday Bhatia of *Mint* stated "Kabir Khan's film underlines everything but gets cricket right, is overwrought but joyful".[198]

Sneha Behangani of *CNBC TV18* stated "*83* also plays masterfully with nostalgia and trivia. Khan ensures that he treats cricket lovers to little surprises (including but not limited to guest appurtenances and real footage) strewn carefully throughout the film."[199] Stutee Ghosh of *The Quint* gave four out of five, stating "*83* is a competently made ode to the game of cricket and the team that made all Indians feel like champions.[200] In its review for *The Guardian*, Phil Hoad gave four out of five and said "*83* doesn't delve any further than that into what degree sporting victory ever translates to social and political progress. But it is an endearing sports film with just enough awareness of where it stands, now that Britain's imperial legacy is being questioned more than ever, on a larger field."[201] Nandini Ramanath of *Scroll.in* said "Khan's fan tribute to a can-do and did-do spirit revivifies the black-and-white photographs, grainy footage and memories embedded in the memories of generations of Indians [...] Ranveer Singh's Kapil Dev is the man of this series for all practical purposes. Singh deftly underplays the heroics and coolly leads the ensemble cast out of the doghouse and into the big league."[202] Sukanya Verma of *Rediff.com* gave 4 stars (out of 5) saying "Kabir Khan's *'83* is an ode to a game changing chapter of Indian cricket history, pitch-perfect partnerships between openers and tail enders, knowing your mate's strengths as well as your own, the everlasting tradition of superstitions and sledging and seizing that one moment that defines the rest of your life."[203] A critic from BBC wrote "Kabir Khan relies on well-known anecdotes to build a narrative. The film is loaded with clichés and the signature touches of his earlier films. But such is the sweet flavour of that singular victory, so thrilling the drama, that it shouldn't fail to gratify the viewer."[204]

The members of the 1983 squad, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and Madan Lal praised the team after watching the premiere of the film. Gavaskar said that "It is simply brilliant and the way every actor has got the mannerisms, the walk, the look, the style of every player was unbelievably uncanny. Full marks to Kabir Khan and his team for their efforts."[205] While Shastri said that "I was left teary-eyed while watching the movie, not because I was part of the team that won it. I really had tears in my eyes when the film got over, because it brought back so many memories" and appreciated Kabir Khan for the direction.[206] Madan Lal stated "83 a must-watch, on the big screen".[206] Several publications listed *83* as one of the best Bollywood films of 2021, which includes: *The Indian Express* (Shubhra Gupta and Minnasa Shekhar),[207][208] *Film Companion* (Anupama Chopra),[209] *Hindustan Times* (Devarsi Ghosh),[210] *The Hindu* (Anuj Kumar),[211] *India Today* (Anandita Mukherjee)[212] and *Firstpost* (Subhash K. Jha).[213]

This had impacted the collections of the film, as these territories significantly contribute to the Hindi film box office. Experts further analysed that the postponement of other films which included *Jersey*, *RRR*, *Radhe Shyam* and *Samrat Prithviraj*, is a minimal hope for the film, so that the film might have a good run at the box-office.

The film crossed the 100-crore mark on the sixth day of its release, earning about Template:INRConvert by 29 December 2021. By the first week, the worldwide box-office collection is estimated to be around Template:INRConvert. Within ten days of its release, the film managed to earn around Template:INRConvert. It was considered to be a box-office disappointment considering the higher production costs involved. As of 10 March 2022[update], the film grossed Template:INR crore in India and Template:INR crore overseas, for a worldwide gross collection of Template:INR crore.Cite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag Despite a middling response, national multiplex chains reported that the film sold nearly 1 lakh tickets with a gross of Template:INRConvert.Cite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag The film's cumulative advance ticket sales were reportedly less than that of *Gully Boy* (2019) which sold 2.12 lakh tickets in advance for the first day of the release.Cite error: Closing `</ref>` missing for `<ref>` tag They also opined that "The success of *Pushpa: The Rise* and *Spider-Man: No Way Home* released in theatres, a week prior, also followed by the threat of Omicron variant, and the occupancy restrictions prevailing in Maharashtra, might affect the collections. However, the film has generated positive buzz among the audience, with its trailer and people will come to watch the film, if it is worth their while."

### Commercial analysis

In its article about *Bollywood Hungama*, Fenil Seta stated about the significant reasons, that led to its box-office decline, with problems regarding the technical aspects, casting and the storyline which did not connect with the youngsters apart from the aforementioned factors.Cite error: The opening `<ref>` tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening `<ref>` tag is malformed or has a bad name Trade analyst Komal Nahta too considered that "One whole chunk of the audience — the 15 to 35 age group — didn't see the film. You can't ignore them if you make a film on such a huge budget. But, the youth doesn't believe in the past, and are not interested in historical facts. Their cricketing heroes are MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. They couldn't identify with Kapil Dev and his team. *83* did not have much for the youth [...] If the film had a personalised and emotional storyline about the characters, it would have been successful in drawing the youth, like Sushant Singh Rajput's *M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story* managed to do." Taran Adarsh also stated that "83 gives a feeling of a docu-drama. People who are looking for a masala entertainer will not find it there. Of course, looking at the subject, you can't have an item song or commercial ingredients, but that is one of the deterrents. But there are certain films that go down in history as wonderful ones, which might not have worked when they had been released." Analysts further believed that, the film was targeted towards the older audiences (the 35 to 50 age group), who were likely reluctant to go theatres, particularly with the rise in the Omicron variant, citing as the reason for the film's underpeformance.

According to Box Office India, the film sold less than 38 lakh tickets in the first week of its release, marginally lower than that of Shah Rukh Khan's *Zero* (2018), which sold 69 lakh tickets. Trade analysts reported that the film almost incurred a loss of Template:INRConvert to the makers, surpassing *Bombay Velvet* (2015), which incurred a Template:Indian Rupee crore loss. Bollywood Hungama reported that the film's production costs were about Template:INRConvert with an additional Template:INRConvert being added for print and advertising costs, with interests due to delayed release being increased to Template:INRConvert. While the overall expenditures were amounted to be Template:INRConvert, the distributors' share from both domestic and overseas theatrical were reported to be about Template:INRConvert and Template:INRConvert. It further recovered Template:INRConvert from non-theatrical revenues which includes satellite and digital rights for Hindi and regional languages and music rights.Cite error: The opening `<ref>` tag is malformed or has a bad name The production team received a subsidy of Template:INRConvert for shooting the film majorly in the United Kingdom. However, the total recovery was estimated to be Template:INRConvert from theatrical and non-theatrical revenue, resulting in a loss of Template:INRConvert to Reliance Entertainment with a negative 9.32% rate of ROI.Cite error: The opening `<ref>` tag is malformed or has a bad name
