Released on 24 December, Kabir Khan directorial had managed a decent collection at the end of its first week but couldn't create a storm. With theatres being shut in Delhi, '83' is facing losses. According to Box Office, "the closers of cinema is going to cost the film around 10% and probably cost 2-3% loss."
"The bigger problem is the fall in collections elsewhere as most circuits are showing the drops. Although collections in metros are better it is not helping the overall picture. If we take Mumbai circuit then when Mumbai and Pune is doing decent, you have Gujarat / Saurashtra being dull so this hardly helps the circuit overall. The holiday period will continue and there will be no competition this weekend and that is only plus," BO added.
However, Ranveer Singh's film had managed a decent collection at the end of its first week but couldn't create a storm. The film got the advantage of the Christmas holiday and Shahid Kapoor's Jersey getting postponed, which added considerably to BO.
