Considering the major hype around the venture, 83 is one arguably of the highly anticipated films of the year. Judging by the early reviews by numerous Bollywood celebrities and industry experts, netizens are expecting nothing short of a blockbuster from the film. Deepika Padukone recently took to her Instagram story to share a video of her explaining how the movie makes the viewers feel after they watch it in the theatre. She said, 

''I think it's incredible. And this is how I define '83'- It's not a film, it's an emotion and It's an experience. I don't think you can define what you feel when you come out of this film. People are laughing with joy, they are crying. They are speechless. I don't think anyone is really able to articulate what they feel or what this movie makes you feel when you come out of the theatre.''
