Directed by Kabir Khan83 was one of the hugely awaited films of 2021. It starred Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The film had started creating buzz even before it was officially announced. However, when the film finally released in cinemas on December 24, it failed to draw audiences to theatres, resulting in heavy losses to the makers.

In an interview with a daily, Kabir Khan opened up on the poor box office reception of 83 and said, “We have accepted the fact that box-office will get affected badly in the pandemic. Theaters are closed in many areas. Night shows are not happening. Then eventually all these factors will affect the box-office performance.”

The filmmaker went on to add, “Right now, our focus is on counting love and blessings. There is no point getting upset about it. The film is getting tremendous appreciation and it will continue to get appreciation even when it comes on television or OTT. Whoever has watched this film did not come disappointed and that’s what defines the real success of any film.”

Made on a lavish budget of approximately ₹270 crores, 83 is yet to net ₹75 crores at the ticket window let alone recovering the production cost. Reports are doing the rounds that Ranveer Singh has decided to forgo his pending fee to help the producers.
