83 - Biggest disaster of all time in Hindi film history - Page 3

The producers miscalculated everything and went over budget and now this sad mess. Miscalculated the target audience which they thought was pan India. Miscalculated Ranveer's box office pull . Trailer wasn't cut well, average music. Take the example of Gully Boy, an excellent trailer with excellent music will always give good opening day numbers at the very least.

I feel that musically too there was not that even 1 good number .

Also not everyone loves Cricket and more so its based on what happened in 83.
Young gen were left wondering on why would they want to see a movie based on what happened so long back.

Thr makers did seem over confident on the project and are probably wondering that such good praise, reviews etc and it isn’t reflecting in the BO numbers. Crazy how no one can predict the audience reaction !

PS - DP s wig is so horrible ! Eeks

Ugh. I don't if it matters but there was no need to release it in 3d and multiple languages. Maybe hindi and Tamil would have been sufficient if they wanted to target down South.

Also, yes, 3 songs could've been enough. Faltu long album se acha one anthem. Musically speaking. Also helps promotion.

And promotion could have been more on gec instead of only news channels and radio channel.

It got acclaim and appreciation but money matters the most at the end of the day.

This one is on the producers. Win for the cast, loss for them.

My sister in law who watched the movie told movie is boring don't go to the movie while my brother said it's OK.. So all people who watched doesn't like or connect with the movie, negetive viewers who also contributed to the downfall..

Omg... That's shocking. People on this forum ain't ready to hear the truth. When I said this movie is going to tank, a member accused me of stalking it 😭

The silver lining for Ranveer-Deepika fans- They have to do a couple more movies to recover their losses. 😆

Pushpa released on Dec 17/21. Whats a "crash" after 3 weeks?

Pushpa crashed more than 85 % in its 2nd week worldwide and telugu. From 166 crs to 32 crores( covid?)

BW trade, greedy for telugu followers were hyping the film to reach some 60+ crs. Small town India wanted to see a rural character as hero and they got it.

But the way BW trade was sucking up..when in their own language, distributors were getting their money back for losses .. is surreal.

Smriti Kiran has done a wonderful insta story on 83. Check it.

I feel bad for Kapil Dev!

Why? He's a rich dude who got his glory and fame and goodwill, AND now has an entire movie about him and that moment in time. He's lived his life. Ain't nothing to feel bad about dude.
