NEW DELHI: While the pandemic continues to be far away from its finish line, what has changed in the interim though, is how we have grown to live with the ‘new normal’. Cinema also has been no exception. One of the biggest and most-awaited films in the recent past, ‘83’, has been revered by critics and moviegoers alike, worldwide. The magnum-opus helmed by ace filmmaker Kabir Khan is creating waves not just in India but globally, as audiences continues to celebrate India’s victory on the big screen.
Despite the growing Omicron variant cases and its repercussions on the theatrical business, the sports drama has continued to ensure footfalls in cinema halls. With each passing day, the euphoria surrounding the Ranveer Singh-led movie has risen with movie-buffs worldwide taking to their social media handles to post their heartfelt and honest reactions after watching the movie.
Needless to say, the inspirational sports drama is fighting like the (real) Indian team in 1983 against all odds including the global pandemic. In spite of the recent surge in the number of Covid-19 cases, ‘83’ has been sailing victoriously across India and major overseas markets. In Kabir Khan’s words, “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 these sentiments it seems that ‘83’ is not just a film, it’s an emotion and the sports drama depicting India’s greatest sports victory has managed to go beyond the box office into the hearts of viewers.
