'Sensational and Magical': Twitter abuzz as Ranveer's 83 takes cricket fans a trip down the memory lane

<p>A day before Christmas, some of the biggest and the most anticipated films of the season hit screens. Bollywood sports drama '83' - featuring Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev- opened to theatres across the country has received mostly positive reviews from critics. Keanu Reeves made a comeback as Neo in 'The Matrix: Resurrections' which was released on December 22.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On OTT, Netflix released the satirical comedy 'Don't Look Up' starring some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence headline this ensemble film about a comet heading towards the earth and how mankind is reacting to the impending doom. Akshay Kumar and Dhanush, two of the biggest names in Indian cinema team up with Sara Ali Khan for Anand L Rai's 'Atrangi Re' which hit Disney+Hotstar. Netflix also released the second season of 'Emily In Paris' where Emily takes on new adventures in the French capital.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
With so many films and series&nbsp;releasing this Christmas weekend, confused which one to watch and where? Don't fret, we have you covered. Read WION's review of these films to decide which one should be on your watchlist this festive weekend.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>83</strong><br />
<br />
Kabir Khan narrates the inspiring story of the Indian cricket team which were considered underdogs at the 1983 world cup. With odds against them, the team, headed by Kapil Dev went to win the historic championship. For WION, Shomini Sen writes, "The plot is known to all cricket buffs all too well. India played reigning champions West Indies team at World Cup 1983 in the UK. No one, including members of the cricket board in India and some of the players, believed that the team had a chance to win the coveted cup. But as the team went on to win the initial matches, hopes of not just the team but of Indians across the world rose." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-_3-review-ranveer-singh-and-his-men-smash-it-out-of-the-park-with-this-glorious-chapter-of-history-438606">Read the full review of '83' here.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p><strong>The Matrix Resurrections</strong><br />
<br />
Neo and Trinity are back together. For WION, Zeba Khan writes, "Keanu Reeves’ Neo is back where he started – being Thomas Anderson, only now he is no longer the illegal hacker of 1999 but a video game developer for Warner Bros. It’s been 18 years since we saw Neo ‘The One’ save humanity from robots in a sci-fi world where we’ve been enslaved by machines and we no longer know the difference between reality and illusion!

<p><br />
<strong>Atrangi Re</strong><br />
<br />
Anand L Rai, known to create beautiful love stories like 'Tanu Weds Manu' and 'Raanjhana' teams up with writer Himanshu Sharma and actor Dhanush. In WION's review, Shomini Sen writes, "Filmmaker Anand L Rai' and writer and producer Himanshu Sharma, have earlier worked together in films like 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Zero', Ranjhana. In all these films, female characters are usually rebels, feisty and bossy. 'Atrangi Re' is no different. Rinku is not an easy person to be around which perhaps makes her more attractive for the opposite sex."<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-atrangi-re-review-dhanush-is-the-star-of-this-indulgent-love-storyco-starring-akshay-kumar-sara-ali-kha-439468"> Read the full review here.</a></p>

<p><strong>Don't Look Up</strong><br />
<br />
A comet is hurtling towards the earth but instead of acting upon it and trying to figure out how to protect the planet from impending doom, people are more interested in the possible jobs that will come along with the extraction of minerals from the comet. Andy McKay satirical film is full of absurdities yet seems very real. In WION's review, Shomini Sen writes, " Michigan state scientist Dr Randall Mindy(DiCaprio) &nbsp;and PhD student Kate Dibiasky (Law) are suitably excited one night when they discover a comet. Their excitement in hours turns into fear as they realise the comet is coming straight at Earth which can lead to the destruction of mankind. &nbsp;With the help of the NASA chief, they manage to get an appointment with the President of the United States Janie Orlean (Meryl Streep), who after making them wait for a day, finally is willing to devote 20 minutes of her time to the concerned scientist. She and her son Jason(Jonah Hill), who is the Chief of Staff have other things to worry about like leaked nude photos sent to a probable cabinet advisor, the mid-term polls etc." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-dont-look-up-review-leonardo-dicaprio-jennifer-lawrence-headline-a-smart-satire-439599">Read the full review here.</a></p>

<p><strong>Emily In Paris, Season 2</strong><br />
<br />
The very American Emily (Lilly Collins) won hearts in the Netflix show 'Emily In Paris' last year and now is back in the second season of the series. Pragati Awasthi for WION wrote, "Season 2 picks up from where the first season ended and shows Emily in deep guilt &amp; sorrow over the mistake she's made. However, she has been told about how Paris, the city of love, is the place where people fall in love and make mistakes, and it's normal, but for the very American Emily, it is a very big deal." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-emily-in-paris-s2-review-lily-collins-starrer-is-a-pleasant--entertaining-holiday-watch-439250">Read the full review here</a><br />

Akshay Kumar and Dhanush, two of the biggest names in Indian cinema team up with Sara Ali Khan for Anand L Rai's 'Atrangi Re' which hit Disney+Hotstar. Netflix also released the second season of 'Emily In Paris' where Emily takes on new adventures in the French capital. With so many films and series releasing this Christmas weekend, confused which one to watch and where? Don't fret, we have you covered. Read WION's review of these films to decide which one should be on your watchlist this festive weekend. 83 Kabir Khan narrates the inspiring story of the Indian cricket team which were considered underdogs at the 1983 world cup. With odds against them, the team, headed by Kapil Dev went to win the historic championship. For WION, Shomini Sen writes, "The plot is known to all cricket buffs all too well. India played reigning champions West Indies team at World Cup 1983 in the UK. No one, including members of the cricket board in India and some of the players, believed that the team had a chance to win the coveted cup. But as the team went on to win the initial matches, hopes of not just the team but of Indians across the world rose." Read the full review of '83' here. The Matrix Resurrections Neo and Trinity are back together. For WION, Zeba Khan writes, "Keanu Reeves’ Neo is back where he started – being Thomas Anderson, only now he is no longer the illegal hacker of 1999 but a video game developer for Warner Bros. It’s been 18 years since we saw Neo ‘The One’ save humanity from robots in a sci-fi world where we’ve been enslaved by machines and we no longer know the difference between reality and illusion! " Read the full review here. Atrangi Re Anand L Rai, known to create beautiful love stories like 'Tanu Weds Manu' and 'Raanjhana' teams up with writer Himanshu Sharma and actor Dhanush. In WION's review, Shomini Sen writes, "Filmmaker Anand L Rai' and writer and producer Himanshu Sharma, have earlier worked together in films like 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Zero', Ranjhana. In all these films, female characters are usually rebels, feisty and bossy. 'Atrangi Re' is no different. Rinku is not an easy person to be around which perhaps makes her more attractive for the opposite sex." Read the full review here. Don't Look Up A comet is hurtling towards the earth but instead of acting upon it and trying to figure out how to protect the planet from impending doom, people are more interested in the possible jobs that will come along with the extraction of minerals from the comet. Andy McKay satirical film is full of absurdities yet seems very real. In WION's review, Shomini Sen writes, " Michigan state scientist Dr Randall Mindy(DiCaprio) and PhD student Kate Dibiasky (Law) are suitably excited one night when they discover a comet. Their excitement in hours turns into fear as they realise the comet is coming straight at Earth which can lead to the destruction of mankind. With the help of the NASA chief, they manage to get an appointment with the President of the United States Janie Orlean (Meryl Streep), who after making them wait for a day, finally is willing to devote 20 minutes of her time to the concerned scientist. She and her son Jason(Jonah Hill), who is the Chief of Staff have other things to worry about like leaked nude photos sent to a probable cabinet advisor, the mid-term polls etc." Read the full review here. Emily In Paris, Season 2 The very American Emily (Lilly Collins) won hearts in the Netflix show 'Emily In Paris' last year and now is back in the second season of the series. Pragati Awasthi for WION wrote, "Season 2 picks up from where the first season ended and shows Emily in deep guilt & sorrow over the mistake she's made. However, she has been told about how Paris, the city of love, is the place where people fall in love and make mistakes, and it's normal, but for the very American Emily, it is a very big deal."

'83', 'Atrangi Re', 'Don't Look Up' and 'Matrix 4' releases this week: Which one should you watch

<p>As they say, nothing unites India as much as cricket and Bollywood and when you get the two most popular things together - you know you have a winner in hand. Filmmaker Kabir Khan has always been known for his&nbsp;deft handling of important subjects like cross-border terrorism and turning it into entertaining, wholesome blockbusters. His latest '83' documents India's historic win at the Cricket World Cup in 1983. A team that was considered to go back home after the prelim matches, stunned the world as it lifted the first world cup for the country.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The plot is known to all cricket buffs all too well. India played reigning champions West Indies team at World Cup 1983 in the UK. No one, including members of the cricket board in India and some of the players, believed that the team had a chance to win the coveted cup. But as the team went on to win the initial matches, hopes of not just the team but of Indians across the world rose.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The beauty of '83 lies in the little anecdotes on the players that it beautifully highlighted. How the 'mad' captain Kapil Dev(Ranveer Singh) struggled with his English, tense moments with some of his team members, Gavaskar's(Tahir Raj Bhasin) little tips on the field, Srikanth and other player's funny banter in the locker room, Balvinder Sandhu's(Ammy Virk)&nbsp;insecurity about not being an engineer or doctor but a bowler- all these and more give an insight into the legendary team whose members are considered living legends now. The film highlights why winning the trophy was important- to create an identity in a game that was never ours, to bring glory to the nation in a country that had for years ruled over India. Spruced with actual footage and images of the championship, the film is able to connect the actors to the parts they play on screen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Written by Khan, Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan and Vasan Bala, '83' has a detailed screenplay and tries to incorporate not just how the cricketers played on the field but also throws light on the political atmosphere of the time where the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sought to use India's entry to semi-finals to defuse a possible communal riot in a town in northern India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Khan's film could have gone either way. Making a film on a subject that is still well-etched on everyone's memory and a championship on which a lot of material is already available is slightly tricky. The actors could have easily hammed and the film could have easily made a caricature on the match. But fortunately, despite working on a topic that is known by many in the country, '83' makes for a thrilling watch.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It helps that it is headlined by the versatile Ranveer Singh who picks up Kapil Dev's mannerisms, his broken English and even his Natraj shot accurately. Sing always manages to slip well into the characters he plays onscreen. '83' is no exception. Singh executes the role of Kapil Dev, the slightly shy but determined captain of the Indian Cricket team, well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the film concentrates most on Singh's character, there are other actors too who stood out for their performance. Tamil actor Jiva plays Kris Srikanth with absolute ease. It is so much fun to watch the actor play the maverick Srikanth so accurately on screen. The other actor who stands out for his performance is actor Amy Wark who plays cricketer Balvinder Sandhu.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pankaj Tripathi as team manager PR Man Singh and Deepika Padukone as Romi Dev too are well cast and leave a lasting impression. It's great to see Deepika and Ranveer playing a regular married couple, sans royalty, wars and period drama (if you know what I mean).</p>

<p>Certain scenes are meta. Neena Gupta, who plays Kapil Dev's mother cheers watching her on-screen son take Sir Viv Richard's wicket.

<p>At 2hr 45 minutes, the film can be a bit of a stretch. It also tends to focus mostly on Kapil Dev (the cricketer is reportedly one of the co-producers of the film) and perhaps it would have been great to know more about the other cricketers in greater detail.&nbsp;</p>

<p>These flaws can easily be overlooked as '83' taps on the emotions of a country that is always hungry for such thrilling wins. It also gives a slice of history to a generation that has grown up on Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and the recent Dhoni and Kohli.</p>

<p>'83' comes at a time when the Omicron variant has once again spread gloom in the country. There is no better way to forget pandemic woes than to watch a moment in Indian cricket history and celebrate the legends. The win gave birth to India's obsession with cricket and '83' will make you celebrate our heroes once again.&nbsp;</p>

These flaws can easily be overlooked as '83' taps on the emotions of a country that is always hungry for such thrilling wins. It also gives a slice of history to a generation that has grown up on Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and the recent Dhoni and Kohli. '83' comes at a time when the Omicron variant has once again spread gloom in the country. There is no better way to forget pandemic woes than to watch a moment in Indian cricket history and celebrate the legends. The win gave birth to India's obsession with cricket and '83' will make you celebrate our heroes once again. '83' releases in theatres on December 24.
