"We are here to win."
Bollywood stars and netizens reacted to the trailer of Ranveer Singh’s 83.
The sports drama sees Ranveer play Kapil Dev as he leads India to its first World Cup in 1983.
The trailer begins with the commentator mentioning how the Indian cricket team must be feeling after back-to-back losses against the West Indies and Australia.
The comments are made during India vs Zimbabwe and it shows India losing wicket after wicket.
It then picks up as members of the Indian cricket team are introduced to the audience.
What follows is the journey of how Team India overcame hardship to win the 1983 World Cup.
One particular scene was striking. It showed Ranveer Singh’s Kapil Dev facing the media in an almost empty room.
He is asked: “What do you think are the team’s chances in the World Cup?”
India’s captain replies: “We are here to win.”
The response is met with sarcastic laughter.
As the trailer goes on, the Indian team start finding success, with Kapil hitting window-smashing sixes and the team opening bottles of champagne.
Another scene shows Kapil Dev facing the media, this time in a full room, where he repeats:
“We are here to win.”
This is met with reporters scrambling to get their questions in.
