<p>The magnum opus helmed by filmmaker Kabir Khan was well received by the audience in cinemas Indian cinemas. The performances of Ranveer Singh and Pankaj Tripathi received praise.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The inspirational sports drama fought like the Indian team in 1983 against all odds including the global pandemic. In spite of the surge in the number of Covid-19 cases, &lsquo;83&rsquo; sailed victoriously across India and major overseas markets.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In Kabir Khan&rsquo;s words then, &ldquo;The kind of love that&rsquo;s pouring out for &lsquo;83&rsquo; is unbelievable. It&rsquo;s a film which is going to be there for years to come and going to be one of the defining films of my career.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Going by the review sentiments &ndash; &lsquo;83 is not just a film, it&rsquo;s an emotion&rsquo;, the sports drama represents India&rsquo;s greatest sports victory and is beyond box office.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Kamal Haasan&rsquo;s Raajkamal Films International and Akkineni Nagarjuna&rsquo;s Annapurna Studios joined hands with Reliance Entertainment to present the Tamil and Telugu versions respectively of the film. Prithviraj&rsquo;s production, and Kichcha Sudeepa&rsquo;s Shalini Arts presented the film in Malayalam and Kannada versions.</p><p>
