After much delay, the Ranveer Singh starrer sports biopic ’83’, in which the actor portrays Kapil Dev, captain of the 1983 cricket World Cup-winning team, was finally released on Friday.
According to Box Office India, the movie collected around Rs 14 crore on the first day of its release, scoring well in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore.
The movie’s collection in these cities was just 10-20 per cent behind what ‘Sooryavanshi’ did upon its release. However, in Punjab, UP, Rajasthan Gujarat, MP or Bihar circuit, the film’s box office collection was pretty dull.
