Twitter Gets Emotional as Ranveer Singh's 83 Hits the Screens

The movie relives India's 1983 World Cup triumph in England with Ranveer Singh playing Kapil Dev.

After waiting for what for a while, the movie '83' has finally gone on the floors on Friday and has already started receiving love from all over the country. The movie efficiently showcases the grit and hard work behind India’s 1983 World Cup win. Captain Kapil Dev's role is played by Ranveer Singh in the movie.

The movie has been the talk of the town way before it’s release and its safe to say that after being pushed back because of the pandemic Kabir Khan’s 83 is finally receiving the much needed love and appreciation it deserved. Here’s how fans reacted on Twitter after watching the movie:

Watched #ThisIs83 with my parents today. My father wept tears of joy as he recalled the historic moment of India’s cricketing victory. I lived that through his experience & @83thefilm. My review via @FilmeShilmy. @RanveerOfficial #RanveerSingh #83TheFilm https://t.co/DUhcoEhPcN

Overall with some ups & down #ThisIs83 turns out to be a GOOD film with fabulous ending that makes you forget all the weakness in the film, I strongly feel that this film has potential to touch ₹120cr in worst case scenario and ₹150cr if audience showers love…. #83Review #83WC pic.twitter.com/3Br5dUKj6P

83 वर्ल्ड कप जीतने वाली टीम का हिस्सा रहे मदन लाल ने कहा खेलों पर अभी बनी फ़िल्मों में सबसे अच्छी है. जो जीवन में संघर्ष करते हैं उनके लिए यह ज़बर्दस्त प्रेरक मूवी है. वैसे भी यह विश्व कप तब जीता गया था जब सब हमें "अंडर डॉग" समझ रहे थे. इससे प्रेरक फ़िल्म नहीं बन सकती.#83Review

Review #ThisIs83 : Kabir Khan manages to captivate audience even with its minor flaws in writing.Actors have done a splendid job depicting Indian heroes.Matches are recreated well & connects emotionally. BGM a let down.A fitting tribute to '83 team that changed Indian cricket.

#83movie #OneWordReview 3/5⭐⭐⭐
Movie is good...not great.
Biggest strength of 83 is also its weakness.
Win was unpredictable in 83
Win is predictable in 83 the film.
So the drama works but little less.#RanveerSingh is best.
Direction by @kabirkhankk
Is superb.

#83TheMovie - One thing I really liked about the movie is they managed to cover the discouragement faced by Indian team even in their own country/Govt, and how Cricket got popularized in India after 83 WC Victory👍

Our previous generation will be able to connect more.#83film

83….. Never seen so many people cry in a theatre with joy! It’s an amazing story, beautifully told… growing up we wanted to be fast bowlers like @therealkapildev … but there was only one.. #83TheFilm #83Movie @kabirkhankk @RanveerOfficial - You nailed it!

#83theFilm has some authentic recreation of real heroes & incidents on screen, everyone fits their part perfectly with @RanveerOfficial leading in the front. Many nostalgic moments watching it. Proud of my friend @vishinduri for producing a tribute film to Cricket
