The sports drama has been one of the most anticipated films of the year as it combines cinema with cricket. The film has received a positive response from critics and audiences alike.

When it comes to the collections at the box office, on its opening day, 83 has managed to earn Rs 13-14 crore, according to a report by Box Office India. 83 has performed well in metropolitan cities but has struggled in other circuits.

"83 (Hindi) seems to have had a fair first day with collections in the 13-14 crore nett range as per early estimates. The film has had mixed fortunes as the metros have done well while other areas have not performed. The collections coming from metros make it look higher than 14 crore nett while if we take the other side it looks under 13 crore net (Sic)," read the report by Box Office India.
