Cricket is not just a sport, it is a festival in India. A festival celebrated in every household, where firecrackers burst with every victory of the country. But where did all this start? I’ll tell you in 83.
The game about which the Board of Control for Cricket in India was not serious. How did that game teach the whole country to dream of winning? 83 is not a film, it is a document of the most glorious history. That united the whole country in the slogan.
The most difficult was to cover the 38-year-old history layer by layer. Putting the story in front of the audience, which most of them have not even heard.
A lot of books have been written, so it was not easy to show something new. But Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan and Vasan Bala together with Kabir Khan have sifted through those moments that you will laugh, cry and applaud while sitting in the theaters.
You all know what happened during the match, but what happened behind the match, what happened in their houses. What happened in the Board of Control for Cricket, what happened in the politics of India? Kabir Khan’s film 83 is the answer to all these questions.
Kabir Khan has decorated every match, the emotions outside and inside the stadium, the speed of every ball, the swirling rustle of the bat, very well in this film
The most amazing feature is that Kabir Khan has given the video and pictures of the original match in the film in such a way that it will be difficult for you to guess which one is real and which is the reel.
Mohinder Amarnath’s portrayal of his father Lala Amarnath and Kapil Dev played by Ranveer Singh’s six on the silver screen. Catching the real Kapil Dev in the audience are the highlights of this film that will fill you with excitement and emotions at the same time.
The whole world has heard the love story of Weat Indies player Vivian Richards and Neena Gupta but in this film she has played the role of Kapil’s mother. And the biggest highlight is little Sachin Tendulkar watching and celebrating the 83 World Cup. There are hundreds of moments in ‘83’ that will leave you whistling.
The applause should keep ringing for Mukesh Chhabra.
