Another strong point why this failed is if it would have been 2011 WC, it would have been a blockbuster.
People who grew up with 1983 WC have grown up to be in 40s now. This age category don't really show up in big numbers due to work load, kids and waning interest in movies.
People who are still in 20s and 30s are the major audience who goto theatres and give a boost to other age categories to see a movie if its good or not. If it was 2011 one, everyone would have gone to the theatres with a lot of emotions.
With 83, nobody has any idea how the atmosphere was when winning the WC its just random information and sayings but we are more exposed to the 2011 one in comparison.
Am sure there are more people who want to watch Sachin, Dhoni, Kohli and the team than the team in 80s. People cannot connect.
