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. 

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, ‘83’ sailed victoriously across India and major overseas markets. 

In Kabir Khan’s words then, “The kind of love that’s pouring out for ‘83’ is unbelievable. It’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.” 

Going by the review sentiments – ‘83 is not just a film, it’s an emotion’, the sports drama represents India’s greatest sports victory and is beyond box office. 

Kamal Haasan’s Raajkamal Films International and Akkineni Nagarjuna’s Annapurna Studios joined hands with Reliance Entertainment to present the Tamil and Telugu versions respectively of the film. Prithviraj’s production, and Kichcha Sudeepa’s Shalini Arts presented the film in Malayalam and Kannada versions.
