Bollywood actors Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Pankaj Tripathi starrer Kabir Khan’s sports drama film ’83’ were expected to break box office records. However, the film did not live up to the expectations.

The film has so far collected Rs.79.46 crore at the box office in 9 days. According to Box Office of India, ’83’ (Hindi) has very low viewership and barely 38 lakh tickets have been sold in the first week. This number is compared to Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Zero’ (69 lakh tickets). Also very less which was a flop at the box office.

’83’ also has one of the highest ticket rates for a Hindi film, and business experts agree that this too is one of the major reasons for its failure. On the other hand, if the ticket rate had been kept low, then the collection would have reduced further.

Total Footfall Of Hindi Films Made At A Cost Of Rs.200 Crore Or More:

‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ – 3.09 Crores, ‘Padmaavat’ – 2.34 Crores ,’War’ – 2.16 Crores

‘Bharat’ – 1.61 Crores, ‘Sooryavanshi’ – approx. 1.25 Crores , ‘Thugs of Hindustan’ – 1.12 Crores ‘Zero’ – 69 lakhs, ’83’ – 38 lakh approx. (1 week)

83′ suffered even more when theaters in Delhi were closed due to rising cases of covid-19. According to Boxofficeindia.com, ’83’ may suffer a loss of around Rs.50 crore. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film tells the story of the Indian cricket team’s victory during the 1983 Cricket World Cup. ’83’ also stars Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jeeva, Saqib Saleem, Jatin Sarna, Chirag Patil, Dinkar Sharma, Nishant Dahiya. Hardy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, Ammi Virk, Adinath Kothare, Dhairya Karva and R Badri are in lead roles.

After releasing of the film, There was also trending on Twitter to boycott this film. Twitter was trending #boycott 83 and users were requesting everyone to boycott this film for so many reasons.

The main reason were Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone users were saying that both of them are Anti-national as Deepika Padukone went on JNU to support the student at time of promotion of ‘Chhapak’ ,and took 5 crores for 10 minutes to support them. A user shared a video of Ranveer Singh dancing with a member of ISI agents said that Ranveer Singh has a connection with ISI.

Not only this late Sushant Singh Rajput’s fans were demanding to boycott Ranveer Singh as he made joke of SSR many times in the past. All this was the reason of downfall of this movie on box office and did not conquer the audience heart.
