Ranveer has done a good job, but apart from that there's nothing in the movie worth appreciating. Deepika wasn't needed. Everyone knows what happened in 1983 world cup, the underdog Indian team won the cup. There's no backstory here, and nothing that you don't already know. Watch 1983 WC highlights instead.

25th June 1983 is etched in the heart and mind of every Indian alive - it was the day of reckoning for Indian cricket, and I don't think that I shall be much wrong in claiming that this achievement turned the game into a cult in India. Written off by one and all as underdogs who had never won a World Cup cricket match except having beaten East Africa in one of the matches in the previous two versions, no one had any expectations from India. But the victory and the subsequent photos emerging from Lords with Kapil Dev receiving the much coveted trophy and holding it high with the team, gave a new dimension and pillar to the national pride. The game still belonged to gentlemen those days, and the exuberance of the achievement was a muted, dignified and graceful celebration, without the chest beating and physically expressive stuff we have gotten used to seeing now. So when director Kabir Khan announced 83, the expectations from the movie soared. 83 is therefore saddled, whether Khan likes it or not, a billion different objectives, views, opinions, desires and elements of national pride that varies widely. For some, it's the players, and for others it would be the team, spirit, character, grit, emotions, and the list is endless. The story has a foregone conclusion and hence Kabir Khan was entrusted to give the victory a dimension that's perhaps hitherto unknown to our generation and beyond. The good news is that he succeeds partially with it for the audience that lived the occasion, but scores hugely for Gen Y, the millennials and Gen Z, to whom 83 is a story of pride rising from the ashes, it's Phoenix all the way. We shall be contented with your swashbuckling presentation of the subject, Kabir Khan. But critically speaking, 83 is far from Kabir Khan's legacy of films, and I cannot help comparing it to Shimit Amin's "Chak De India". Of course, the latter was a fictional story and Amin had the whole canvas to paint on, whilst 83 perhaps tied Khan's hands to a great extent with reality where creativity is concerned. Hard as he may have tried, it's very difficult to take Ranveer Singh out of Ranveer Singh and Kapil Dev has a lot of the actor infused into his character. The rest of the team is a whole lot of talented actors, but Khan didn't have too much meat for them. I thought the emotional journey of Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath, Vengsarkar, Sandeep Patil, Ravi Shastri, Sandhu, Valson and others also deserved a place, but then one can perhaps argue that 83 in that case would have become a miniseries and not a film. I agree. The music isn't inspiring and I didn't bring back any of the songs. Cricket wasn't technically great - too much focus on the ground banter, clichéd shot making techniques and stock clips of fielding (read players slumping on the ground failing to stop boundaries) make the game uninspiring. But what I brought back home is what Sandhu said after his engagement had broken off by his fiancee due to his small home and paltry earnings - he compared himself to engineers and doctors and felt inferior. That was 83! Forty years later, tge present Indian cricket players can roll on the floor laughing at that economic plight. Oh cricket! How you've turned things on the head!

This was missed opportunity. It should have been Goosebump giving 1983 Triumph visual experience. However poor direction and lackluster performance by lead actors make it a yawning theater experience.

This much hyped movie is disaster. If you are typical bollywood fan who likes masala films only then you will like it. Otherwise it fails in every aspect. Ranveer singh is still acting like he is in simmba ( oh boy that was horrific). The otherwise superior actress deepika padukone is following her husbands path and all she did in film is crying. Its so typical masala film that you wonder if its directed by rohit shetty. Not expected from kabir khan. Dont waste time on this film.

Don't waste your time, not worth it, killed the charm of 83 World Cup. Bollywood needs to come up with real story, actors don't relate to original cricketers and Ranvir Singh wig looks like clown.

This movie is disgusting in the name of 83 world cup. CGI and visual are disgusting and this movie is overhyped. Save your precious time and money in the name of this pathetic movie.
