With cricket hot on the agenda right now with Australia and England facing-off in the 2021-2022 Ashes series Down Under, new cricket drama 83, about India’s unlikely triumph against the odds at the 1983 Cricket World Cup, arrives in cinemas on Christmas Eve.
In 1983 India played their hearts out to defeat the West Indies at Lords in London – the “home of cricket”. Entering the tournament, the Indian national team had only won a solitary game in the previous two world cups, meaning they were rank outsiders for the crown as the tournament arrived in England and Wales. It was seemingly unthinkable that they could take home the world title, yet 83 is an explosive depiction of their heroic triumph against all odds.
In a story of ups, downs and the ultimate underdog, Bollywood megastar Ranveer Singh transforms into 1983 Indian captain and cricket icon Kapil Dev as he leads his team to their first ever world title, despite being rank outsiders for the tournament.
When is cricket biopic 83, about the Indian cricket team’s against-all-odds triumph in the 1983 World Cup, released in the UK?
