1983

The song and the trailer made it look as if its the next big blockbuster. What I expected was something and what the movie was was another thing. It was an average movie. Nivin whose a cricket fan as well a good player couldn't play cricket but after marriage he fulfills his dream through his child. The problems that he had to face was one and how he makes the dream possible is another.

I think every Indian should watch this movie,esp cricket lovers.Itz an inspirational movie with all ingredients-good story ,realities,humour,emotions,passion,love,swéet songs -everything is there .

Id give this film a 10 on 10! Just because the story is told very nicely and it is such an inspiring film! One of the finest from Malayalam movie industry! <3! I don't know..Maybe i became a fan of Nivin Pauly after watching 1983! He did that role perfectly.. :) First as a teenage kid ..then as a father ! The Film is said in a funny way. :) After watching the trailer, I thought it would be an ordinary sports movie like Sevens,Goal etc.But Oh my Oh my,Mr Shine has given us a gem of a movie! :) There are several messages from the movie! One of em i got was to be a sports person,you need the support of your parents,relatives and friends! Midway, you will understand that playing isn't everything in our life ..At the end,you will get that There is also importance in playing! :)

Anyway an excellent movie!!With nice songs! No Adultery! No Dual meaning dialogs!No alocohol!10/10! :)

A finely crafted, nuanced tale of a cricket obsessed youth in a cricket obsessed nation with some beautiful cinematography of the lush landscapes of a village in Kerala. The sense of nostalgia this may evoke in those who have lived in similar setting is enough to recommend this movie. But, on the other hand, this is also a carefully plotted coming of age tale of youthful desires, the slow progress of adulthood and reality and opportunities lost as well as eventual redemption. There are no real villains here apart from the gradually encroaching tentacles of time, but this is an example of the recent breed of Malayalam Cinema's new age creators at their best. Nivin Pauly is an actor who never really convinced me till now, but this year he seems to be coming into his own with some delightful turns. Add in some fabulous supporting actors and great technical aspects, and we have a real winner here. And, as with all great sports movies, you can be totally immersed in this even if cricket is not your cup of tea.

Best sports movie in Malayalam.I like to give 10/10 for its story. For the way story unfolds. For not exaggerating the story of an ordinary person who loved cricket more than anything. For the unending spirit of "Friends Team" and for their unity and Friendship.For the lost love of Rameshan. For depicting the determination and passion of a human being to do one thing which he likes most in life.And above all, for bringing back the nostalgic memories of 80's i had once lived.A MUST WATCH MOVIE in Malayalam.Thanks for such wonderful movie... I thank all the crew members for this. A great first step from a debut director Abrid Shine.Hats off.
