83- Patriotic, energy pumping and goosebumps moments movie that invigorates lots of pride moments and fulfillment.
Kabir Khan carries forward the script, story and screenplay with finesse and maintains the cricket theme as the heart and soul, with zero deviation.
Ranveer Singh hits fours and sixes with pitch perfect "The Haryana Hurricane" Kapil paaji.
Cheeku's comic timing is on point. Rest of the characters have done extremely well.
This is not a cinema alone, as we get a chance to relive magical moments with thunderous experience. It's priceless!

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.

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!!
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.
