Ranveer Singh’s ’83’ to be the first film to screen at the Iconic Lord’s Ground

In a spellbinding turn of events, ’83’, the magnum opus of Bollywood’s dynamic force, Ranveer Singh, may not have shattered box office records, but it has undeniably captured the hearts of both critics and fans. Now, brace yourselves, as ’83’ is ready to etch its name in the annals of history as it prepares to grace the Lord’s Cricket Ground, in London, United Kingdom. With this groundbreaking feat, it shall become the very first movie to have this honour.

It will be screened on July 15 and July 16, with two shows each day, starting at 11:00 am and 4:00 pm. Ticket prices have been tailored to accommodate various audiences. Adults can secure their seats for £30, while children aged 5 to 15 can enjoy the movie for a mere £5. Senior citizens and students can avail themselves of special tickets priced at £20. For families seeking an unforgettable outing, our family pass is available at £6. They have also offered free admission to handicapped individuals, ensuring inclusivity for all.

In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, director Kabir Khan shed light on the unexpected decision to have the screening of ’83 at the prestigious Lord’s cricket ground. Kabir Khan revealed, “No. Surprisingly, the Lord’s management reached out to us. They proposed the idea since they felt that ’83’ is an iconic film whose final was shot at Lord’s. And I guess it’s a trend nowadays to show films in places where it has been filmed. For instance, there have been screenings of The Shawshank Redemption (1994) which took place in prisons.” The director assured that watching ’83 at Lord’s would be a delightful and joyous experience, akin to a two-day picnic. He added, “There’ll be Indian food available to the patrons.”

Interestingly, ticket holders for the ’83 screening will have the privilege of sitting on the turf rather than in the stands. Kabir Khan explained, “So the idea is to let people step onto the ground. That’s where they can sit and enjoy the film on the big screen.” 

’83’, a gripping tale depicting the remarkable victory of the Indian cricket team in the 1983 World Cup against all odds, featured Ranveer Singh in the lead role of Kapil Dev. When queried about the presence of Ranveer and others at the screening, Kabir Khan responded, “I am not sure. It all depends on their dates and whether they are available. But I’ll be there along with Kapil Dev and Balwinder Singh Sandhu. After the screening, we’ll interact with viewers and answer their queries.” 

In addition to Ranveer Singh’s stellar performance, ’83 boasted a remarkable ensemble cast, including Deepika Padukone, Pankaj Tripathi, Tahir Raj Bhasin, Ammy Virk, Saqib Saleem, Hardy Sandhu, Sahil Khattar, and many other talented actors. The film made its grand debut on December 24, 2021, and has since garnered a thriving viewership on the popular streaming platform, Netflix.
