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.”
