Ranveer Singh starring ’83 got an overwhelming response on the initial days. But this time, it seems like audience isn’t responding well, as the film is in huge trouble as the small cities have replaced the film with Spiderman: No Way Home and Pushpa: The Rise.

It is reported that, “On an all-India level, around 10-15% of ‘83’s shows have been discontinued. The response to the film over the weekend was not encouraging at all. In some centers, it did 1/4th business of Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01.”

On the other hand, the distributor of the Allu Arjun starrer in Bihar stated, “4 cinemas removed 83 and replaced it with Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01. One of them decided to make the change on Friday itself.”

Moreover, trade analyst Taran Adarsh stated, “I am not aware (about reduction of the shows). But it’s a normal practice for multiplexes to reduce the show of a particular film and replace it with that of a film that is doing better.” The analyst further added, “The film comes with a heavy price tag and its numbers have been a disappointment for the industry. Post Sooryavanshi, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01, one expected another success in the form of 83. However, the collections have proved to be a setback.”

Ranveer Singh will next be featured as the former Indian cricket captain Kapil Dev in his forthcoming film ’83.’ However, the movie has been declared tax-free in Delhi by the state government.

The announcement of the film getting tax free in the national capital circulated through a tweet made by Reliance Entertainment, “Thank you, Shri. @ArvindKejriwalji and Shri @msisodia ji, for declaring the film 83 tax-free in Delhi! Your gesture will able us to propagate the tale of India’s greatest victory to a wider audience. @therealkapildev #ThisIs83.”

Apart from this, the film’s trailer recently lit up Burj Khalifa after receiving lots of appreciations at the world premiere of their film at the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah. Ranveer and Deepika, along with director Kabir Khan and his wife Mini Mathur made a appearance at the Jeddah Film Festival. Not only this but they were even present while Ranveer starrer trailer was played at Burj Khalifa.

Talking about this movie, Ranveer stated, “He has a very unique bowling action and his bio-mechanics are very unique to him. My body is very different from his so I had to transform my physicality drastically in order to achieve it. It took a long time, in fact, months to perfect the action. Initially, my body was too heavy because I was coming off of the shoot of ‘Simmba’.”

Besides, Deepika Padukone will be seen playing Romi, Kapil Dev’s wife in ’83’, which will hit screens on December 24 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

Ranveer Singh-starrer ’83 not to release in IMAX version; read deets

The film ’83, starring power couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, is all set to hit screens on 24th December. The makers of ’83 have held the release for more than 1 ½ year as they thought that it would succeed at the ticket window big time. And now, as per reports, ’83 would be released not just in 2D but also in 3D.

However, a source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers intended to release the film in IMAX version as well. They were of the opinion, and rightly so, that this is a larger-than-life sports drama. It has the grandeur and the scale and hence, viewers would be excited to see it in IMAX. It was the same logic that was applied when the film was converted into 3D.”

The source further revealed to Bollywood Hungama, “When the makers approached the IMAX officials in North America for their approval, they declined their request. This is because ’83 releases on December 24, 2021, a week after the release of the highly awaited superhero flick, Spider-Man: No Way Home, which hits theatres worldwide on December 16/17. And that’s not all. The Matrix Resurrections, the fourth part in the acclaimed The Matrix series, will be released across the world on December 22. Both these films would be released in the IMAX versions. IMAX management does not encourage the release of too many IMAX films in the same period. As a result, they had to refuse approval to the makers of ’83.”

Meanwhile, a trade expert stated, “It would have been great to see ’83 in IMAX and especially in 3D IMAX version. Nevertheless, the film will still score at the box office due to the considerable hype. The 3D version will also give a boost to the earnings.”

On the other hand, Two upcoming Indian films will be released in IMAX version – S S Rajamouli’s period saga RRR and Akshay Kumar-starrer Prithviraj. While Prithivraj would release only in 2D, RRR would also have a release in 3D and 3D IMAX.
