The trailer of '83 dropped on the Internet on Tuesday morning and within minutes, it took the Internet by storm. We are not surprised at all
On June 25, 1983, the Indian cricket team under the captaincy of Kapil Dev made the nation proud by winning the World Cup at Lord's, and 38 years later, Ranveer Singh and his team re-evoked the feeling and the rush of the glorious victory in the Kabir Khan-directed '83. The trailer of '83 dropped on the Internet on Tuesday morning and within minutes, it took the Internet by storm. We are not surprised at all. The film, which is based on India's World Cup win in 1983, features Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev or should we say the "Haryana Hurricane" - a name he got for his brilliant game techniques.
The trailer opens at India's match against Zimbabwe on June 18 in 1983 at the Nevill Ground in England. Team India is batting but unable to score well until Kapil Dev enters the game and flips it upside down by leading his team to victory. For those who don't know, team India won the next game against Australia too on June 20 and played the final with West Indies on June 25.
The following shots show the Indian cricket team being treated poorly compared to West Indies players in England. Indian players practice hard and have some light, fun moments too during the tournament.
Ranveer Singh's wife and actress Deepika Padukone, who has been roped in to play Kapil Dev's wife Romi Bhatia onscreen, enters the frame and steals the show. The team can be seen joking about Kapil Dev's dedication towards winning the World Cup by defeating West Indies at a get-together.
