Box Office: Sports Biopic '83' Goes Past Rs. 100 Cr. Domestic Net

Mumbai, January 10 - Ranveer Singh-starrer "83" has become the second Bollywood film to reach Rs. 100 crores net at the domestic box office since the last year. The sports biopic netted approx 3.50 crores in the 3rd weekend, pushing its total India net to Rs. 100.50 crores for all languages.

"83" becomes the 6th film for Ranveer Singh to enter Rs. 100 crores net club. "Padmaavat" remains his highest net earning film of all time with Rs. 302.15 cr., followed by Simmba (Rs. 240.3 cr.), Bajirao Mastani (Rs. 184.3 cr.), Gully Boy (Rs. 139.63 cr.), and Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela (Rs. 117.53 cr.).



At the overseas box office, the Kabir Khan-directed has grossed approx Rs. 59 crores in 17 days, helping its worldwide gross total to reach Rs. 176 crores after the 3rd weekend. It is only the second Bollywood film after Akshay Kumar's "Sooryavanshi" to gross over Rs. 150 crores worldwide since Ajay Devgn's "Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior" in January 2020.

Despite all the aforementioned box office numbers, makers would be feeling that the movie has underperformed at the box office. It was looked like an outright blockbuster, however, the competition with "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and Allu Arjun's "Pushpa" have reduced its chances to go big in Hindi markets, plus, the restrictions on cinemas have also hit it hard.

While "83" is finding it difficult to cope up with current circumstances, Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" is going wild at the box office in Hindi versions. In fact, this action-thriller is growing day by day, especially on single screens. The dubbed Hindi version of the film netted approx. Rs. 9 crores in its 4th weekend, and its total Hindi collection now strongly stands at Rs. 81.50 crores.

Directed by Sukumar, the "Pushpa" Hindi version has contributed 35% to the total India gross collection of the film, making it one of the biggest contributions for a dubbed version of a Pan-India film. "Pushpa - The Rise" has already become the first Indian film since "Tanhji" to cross Rs. 300 crores worldwide mark.
