Ranveer Singh’s 83 crosses Rs 100 crore mark

Ranveer Singh in 83

Filmmaker Kabir Khan's cricket drama 83 has touched the Rs 100 crore mark at the domestic box office, the makers said on Monday. It has been 17 days since the film's release, the all-India collections of the Ranveer Singh-headlined film now stands at Rs 100.56 cr. The movie was released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam on December 24.

Reliance Entertainment, one of the production houses behind 83, shared the news on its official Twitter account. "India scores a century!" read the caption of the poster.

The film was dubbed as an under-performer by trade analysts as the multistarrer failed to maintain the momentum of the Hindi film box office following the mammoth success of Akshay Kumar's 2021 Diwali release Sooryavanshi - the only Bollywood blockbuster of last year.

In an earlier interview, Khan had defended the film's collection by calling 83 a "victim of the pandemic" and said the movie put up a show despite battling COVID-19 restrictions, like closure of cinema halls in certain states.

The film chronicled India's win under Kapil Dev's captainship, when the team defeated the mighty West Indies in the final to clinch their first-ever World Cup trophy in 1983.
