'83

The movie is the experience of the 1983 Cricket World Cup winning team. The good thing is none of the characters are vilified for the sake of 'antagonist' and everything is represented in the realms of Sports Drama. There are moments that make it emotional and make you cry. Kabir Khan and Ranveer Singh have pulled off a fantastic magic here. Do watch in theatres!!

Expectation from this movie was less and it was very well achieved.

Very well impersonated by all the actors.

You will feel very involved in the movie.

The team has brought the 83 cricket word cup matches to the big screens. Everyone knows what happened on 1983 but the screenplay making and acting made the movie enjoyable and interesting.

Look first it's a docudrama, which means everyone has to look and act like a real life Indian cricketer. This is a technically well made movie. You see some actual real cricket action not just patched up shots of someone bowling and someone batting. They have tried to recreate the same play sequences as much as possible. So the ball seams or spins or swings as was seen on the live telecast.

The West Indian actors as cricketers were good and they plugged in quite well to the narrative. Well they got Malcolm Marshall's son to play as him no wonder it looked very realistic.

Yes there are the usual cliches and some history lessons and a tiny bit of melodrama you would expect in any Bollywood movie but it keeps you entertained.

If you hate cricket don't bother as that's what 90% of the movie is about. There aren't any silly song sequences and traditional melodramas.

Jiiva as Srikanth and Ranveer as Kapil Dev are simply great.

All in all an entertaining fare and this should serve as an impetus for other sports movies as well.

A wonderful and breath freshing film with all the actors did great in filling the shoes of the cricketers which is in itself a huge achievement. Ranveer singh take a bow ,the Man never disappoints including co actors pankaj tripathi and the ones who played srikkanth,yashpal sharma were outstanding. The film is mixture of all the aspects emotions, nationalism,pride, dedication,hardwork and lots of laughter. It is written really well and always keeps you on the edge of your seat and takes you through the journey of the story. Never feels bored and the film itself teaches you to enjoy the life.the film has so many moments through out which will make you die laughing.

The negative aspect of the film is the melo-drama which is generally expected to digest for the Indian audience. It gets more and more as the tournament progresses and ruins the finale.

Deepika Padukone had a short role did look good but was unnecessary.

With a glimpse cameo of Kapil Dev himself the film is a complete mass entertainer.

I will give it 8 out of 10 stars.
