83 song Lehra Do teaser hints at a musical tribute to a team that beat all the odds to gain victory

The makers of 83 have unveiled the teaser for the film’s song Lehra Do and it is sure to take viewers back to the glorious and historic win witnessed by the Indian cricket team all those decades ago. The full song will be released tomorrow i.e. on Monday, December 6, 2021.

The film’s lead star Ranveer Singh shared the teaser on his social media. Just over 30 seconds long, the clip tries to pack in the whole spectrum of emotions that all Indians had witnessed in the course of that historic match. The song is likely to cover all aspects from the anxiety of the smallest fumbles to the never-back-down attitude of the cricket team and its fierce captain and of course the patriotism and exaltation that came with the unexpected victory.

Ranveer captioned the post ‘Keep the tricolour flying high! #LehraDo teaser out now. Song out tomorrow. #ThisIs83’

83 tells the story of the Indian cricket team’s first World Cup victory in 1983, which was won under the captaincy of Kapil Dev. Still viewed as an underdog at the time, the team had won the prestigious match in a situation where the odds seemed to be stacked against them.

Ranveer stars as the Indian captain and appears alongside Tahir Raj Bhasin, Jiiva, Saqib Saleem, Harrdy Sandhu, Ammy Virk, Pankaj Tripathi, Boman Irani, Nishant Dahiya, and Sahil Khattar. Deepika Padukone makes a cameo appearance in the movie as Ranveer’s wife.

The film is directed by Kabir Khan. Vishnuvardhan Induri, Deepika, Kabir and Sajid Nadiadwala are the producers of the project. 83 will hit theatres on December 24, 2021.
