83 2021 Movie Review
At each stage of the film, Kabir combines real footage with footage that makes him sit and document the fact that he has invested so much in research and reproduction (these scenes look as good as the real ones). real incidents on the pitch) of defining moments in the Indian team’s journey at the 1983 World Cup. You realize that the film isn’t all about drama or sports, it clearly tries to combine both. And to a large extent, he succeeded.
India’s love of cricket has a lot to do with the fact that the 1983-born team defeated the West Indies, a virtually unbeaten cricket team at the time, in that year’s World Cup final. At one point in the tournament, expectations were so low for the Indian team that a broadcaster could have more easily picked a match between the giants, West Indies and Australia than one between India and Zimbabwe. .
Then there was the match where India captain Kapil Dev made history with the batman Mongoose, and it was legendary innings that were not captured on camera. If you pay to see this movie, this shot alone will make paisa vasool’s trip. Kapil Dev’s innings not only saved the game day for India, but also helped the team get a seat at the table and a huge amount of respect they had lacked from every corner up until then, the regulator practice cricket at home, Indians living in India.
And abroad, from the international and domestic press and also those who marked the match. The fact that no one takes the captain’s intentions to win the world championships seriously takes place at different points in the movie, which reiterates what ultimately drove the team to give their all going forward. Small joys, sorrows, glorious victories, painful defeats, the inner turmoil each player has gone through, their individual journey and journey to become a trusted team to beat the strongest men in the gentleman’s game, which is exactly what Kabir Khan’s TV series 83 is all about.
When you listen to Ranveer Singh nail Kapil Dev’s signature conversational style, perfectly reproducing his Natraj shot to the ground, bowling action and body language, you’ll know you’re in the thick of a set. Sports movies revolve around cricket. But as you listen to him talk about why he thinks, believes and feels what he does for the sport, you’ll hear a man tell you what makes him what he is. a prominent name in the game. We’ve all seen the iconic photo of Kapil Dev raising his hand at the FIFA World Cup; the movie delves into why we tend to feel emotional every time we watch it.
