Cricket, which is very popular in India and often treated as a religion, has had a profound impact on the nation’s collective consciousness. The sport has the power to unite millions of people, transcending boundaries, and differences. A significant moment in the history of Indian cricket that brought the entire nation together was the 1983 Cricket World Cup victory. The Indian cricket team, captained by Kapil Dev, achieved an improbable triumph, defeating the mighty West Indies in the final. This historic cricket victory has been etched in the memory of every cricket-loving Indian and served as an inspiration for generations to come. The remarkable journey of the 1983 World Cup has been revisited and celebrated in the Bollywood movie ‘83, directed by Kabir Khan in 2021. This research will delve into the historical significance of India’s first Cricket World Cup victory and how the movie ‘83 captures the essence of that remarkable moment. It also sheds light on the connection of Bollywood and Indian cricket and will try to touch on various aspects related to this.
