#83Movie 4.5/5. So many memorable sequences apart from the Final - #KapilDev's 175 vs Zim, the group matches vs WI, the emotional interval peak, Cheeka's party speech, Kaps' press conferences, classy short-haired @deepikapadukone's (Mrs Romi) conversations with her hubby & so on.

Many of my generation will find flaws with 1983. The characters are not exact, Ranveer is not as athletic as Kapil, the stories are exaggerated! But the truth is that 1983 is a very important film. And it does a terrific job of what it sets out to do. pic.twitter.com/Vf4n2DVAJa

India upset favorites West Indies in the first match. Though, soon it was defeated by Australia and avenged by West Indies. Kapil Dev's innings of 175 against Zimbabwe when India stared at the World Cup exit changed the whole game.
Sunil Gavaskar also known as 'Little Master' has described the Kapil Dev 175 knock as 'batting of the highest class' and arguably the 'greatest ODI hundred he has ever seen.'
India defeated West Indies in the final at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. Batting first, India posted 183 runs on the board before bundling out West Indies for 140 to win by 43 runs.
