Why Did Kabir Khan’s Much-Touted ’83 Underperform So Drastically At The Box office? 

Blame it on the Covid. Or the fact that in hindsight the film looks like a documentary instead of a feature film. But Kabir Khan’s highly regarded sports film ’83 which was made at an estimated cost of Rs 270 crores, stands to lose over 150 crores at the box office. 

Unfortunately, 83 did not take off the way it should have. PUSHPA and SPIDERMAN released one week before, continued to pose stiff opposition to 83 in mass belt and metros, respectively.
