New Delhi: After much delay, the Ranveer Singh starrer sports biopic ’83’, in which the actor portrays Kapil Dev, captain of the 1983 cricket World Cup-winning team, was finally released in December last year.
Helmed by Kabir Khan, Ranveer Singh starrer ‘83’ gathered love from the audience as soon as it hit the theatres.
According to Box Office India, the movie collected around Rs 14 crore on the first day of its release, scoring well in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
The movie’s collection in these cities was just 10-20 percent behind what ‘Sooryavanshi’ did upon its release. However, in Punjab, UP, Rajasthan Gujarat, MP or Bihar circuit, the film’s box office collection was pretty dull.
’83’, which revolves around India’s historical 1983 Cricket World Cup win, also stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dinker Sharma, Nishant Dahiya, Sahil Khattar, Ammy Virk, Addinath Kothare, Dhairya Karwa, R Badree and Pankaj Tripathi.
Interestingly, Ranveer’s wife and actor Deepika Padukone will be seen playing Romi, Kapil Dev’s wife in ’83’.
However, people who couldn’t make up to the theatre to watch the movie, are wondering whether they will be able to watch the film on OTT platforms.
The much awaited 83 will reportedly make its digital premiere on two OTT platforms simultaneously in the month of February 2022.
As per the news daily Mid-day, digital giant Netflix has nabbed the rights of the Hindi version of the sports drama, while Disney+ Hotstar will stream the Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam versions of the movie.
