Last decade’s rising sensation, Ranveer Singh, is now an established name in Bollywood and the go-to actor for any producers to ensure the success of their film. Ranveer Singh has earned the reputation of a dependable actor with a 100% hit ratio in the last 5 years. Ranveer Singh has been working on a number of movies like 83, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Cirkus, Rocky Aur Raani Ki Prem Kahaani to name a few, and if not for the pandemic, 83 and Jayeshbhai Jordaar would have already been released and Cirkus would have been gearing up for a New Year release.
With conditions for the theatrical medium of movie releases improving in India, Nadiadwala & Grandsons Entertainment and Reliance Entertainment’s 83 was announced for a Christmas 2021 release. 83 has been touted as the biggest Ranveer Singh starrer, with an estimated budget in excess of Rs. 200 crores. With less than a week left for 83 to hit the silver screens, let’s look at the opening day benchmarks for this biographical sports drama based on Team India’s journey in 1983’s World Cup.

It faces Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur starrer Jersey the next week and since Jersey is also a film based on cricket, the footfalls will get divided. 83 also locks horns with Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re starring Akshay Kumar, Dhanush, and Sara Ali Khan, which premieres on Disney+Hotstar on the same date as 83.
Given the fact that audiences have numerous options to choose from, this Christmas, and also considering the all-time highest ticket rates for a Ranveer Singh starrer to date, 83 is expected to open in the vicinity of Rs. 18cr nett. It is to be observed how 83 trends at the box office after the opening day, as it will give an idea of where the film can go in its lifetime.
