With Kabir Khan's 83', starring ranveer singh as Kapil Dev, the biggest underdog story of all time, the quest of the indian cricket Team to win the world cup, has eventually made its way to the silver screen. While it may appear to be a biopic of the skipper, it is actually a comprehensive movie that depicts the team's progress, serving as an ode to all the performers who rose like a phoenix when no one anticipated it.
From the opening frame, kabir khan makes it apparent that 'This indian team can't win the Tournament,' and it's obvious that the road ahead would be a roller coaster ride, with the squad achieving victory against all odds. The first hour contains some sensitive passages, as well as hilarious undertones that make you smile. There are those moments in life that fill you with pride, particularly when india wins their first match against the West Indies. The problem, particularly in the first half of 83', is that the filmmaker and his writing team repeatedly remind the spectator, through multiple methods, that this side cannot win the World Cup. The picture's grip tightens when the aspect of repetition sinks in, and it's towards the intermission that the movie begins to hold its own.
In the later part, kabir khan intensifies the feelings and plays on the sentiments (which can also be manipulative). The script was kept simple by the director in an attempt to appeal to our nation's lowest common denominator. The screenplay's reduction takes away the excitement and drama, but that's Kabir's approach to creating a worldwide film that appeals to a wide range of audiences. And it is this factor that may work in 83's favour in the long run. The second half of the screenplay is packed with audience-pleasing moments, such as the excessive accumulation to Kapil's 175* or the legendary catch to get Viv Richards out in the world cup Finals, the moment of triumph, captains' monologue in the dressing room, and finally, the delicate commentary on how cricket binds the country.
When it comes to acting, ranveer singh has taken a page from Kapil Dev's book and immediately immerses himself in the role. Ranveer's dialogue presentation is superb, and he once again demonstrates his versatility as a performer. Ranveer excels in this area, as the persona requires a sense of tranquilly. sunil Gavaskar's Sunhir raj Bhasin doesn't have much to do, but he's difficult to ignore. He has all of the characteristics of the cricketing icon down to a tee, even the grin. Jiva as Srikkanth is a delight, throwing in the amusement at periodic intervals. pankaj tripathi as PR Man Singh is dependable as it always is.
Overall, A Nostalgic Ride, Magnificent and Overwhelming Fairytale
