Kabir Khan's wife Mini Mathur reveals the director broke down after '83 flopped: 'It broke his heart'

Filmmaker Kabir Khan poured his heart into '83', depicting India's 1983 Cricket World Cup win. Despite critical acclaim, its release during COVID-19 theater closures led to box office failure, deeply affecting Kabir. His wife, Mini Mathur, shared how the industry's love and audience appreciation helped him through this dark phase. Filmmaker Kabir Khan , known for hit movies like 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' and 'Ek Tha Tiger', worked very hard on his cricket film '83'. But when the movie didn't do well at the box office, it upset him a lot. His wife, Mini Mathur, said that the poor performance left Kabir feeling very sad and emotionally hurt. Mini Mathur Shares Kabir's Deep Connection with 83 During an interview with Vickey Lalwani on YouTube, Mini revealed how deeply the failure of '83' affected Kabir emotionally. She explained that among all his films, '83' was the one where he truly poured his heart and soul. Reflecting his own view, she said that if there is a film that came the closest to his craft and the film in which he poured his entire heart, it was '83'. According to him, '83' was perfection. The Story Behind 83 and Its Untimely Release Featuring Ranveer Singh in the role of Kapil Dev , '83' tells the story of India's remarkable victory in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. Despite earning praise from critics, the film's release was unfortunately timed with a spike in COVID-19 infections, causing cinemas to close only a day after it hit the screens. The Impact of COVID-19 on the Film's Success Mini revealed that '83' released just before theaters shut down, leaving no chance for box office success. In their 27 years together, she said this was the only time she saw Kabir lose his usual optimism. The experience deeply hurt him, marking one of their darkest periods. Normally the hopeful one, Kabir felt trapped both physically and mentally, unable to move past the disappointment. For him, 83 was his masterpiece, a project he loved dearly, but it never received the recognition it deserved. Industry Support and Lasting Audience Appreciation Although '83' struggled commercially, it received tremendous support from the film industry. Mini recalled how legends . Bachchan and Kamal Haasan personally reached out to Kabir Khan, saying, 'From Mr. Bachchan to Mr. Kamal Haasan, the greats called him personally. I've never seen him receive so much love from within the industry." She also highlighted the film's lasting impact on audiences, sharing, 'Till today, I get messages saying toddlers watch 83 repeatedly. People appreciate the detailing — from costumes to props.' Despite this, Mini described this time as the darkest chapter of his filmmaking life.

Kabir Khan Broke Down After 83 Flopped, Recalls Mini: 'In 27 Years, I've Never Seen Him Like That'

Last Updated: Mini Mathur reveals how Kabir Khan broke down after 83 failed at the box office despite being his "magnum opus" and receiving industry-wide praise. Filmmaker Kabir Khan may be known for blockbusters like Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Ek Tha Tiger, but it was 83, his ambitious cricket drama, that he poured his soul into. Now, his wife and television personality Mini Mathur has revealed how the underperformance of 83 at the box office deeply impacted the director, leaving him emotionally shattered. In a conversation with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Mini opened up about the toll the film's failure took on Kabir. 'If there is a film that came the closest to his craft and the film in which he poured his entire heart, it was 83. According to him, 83 was perfection," she said. Starring Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev, 83 was based on India's historic 1983 Cricket World Cup win. Though the film received critical acclaim, its release coincided with a surge in COVID-19 cases, resulting in theater shutdowns just a day after its release. Mini shared, 'The film releases and the theatres shut exactly a day out. No box office. I haven't… in our 27 years of marriage, if there's been one thing where I've seen Kabir dip out of his positivity, it was this. It broke his heart. I don't recall a darker week or 10 days for us." She described Kabir as someone who's usually the optimist in their relationship. 'He was not like himself. It was like he was trapped physically in a room and mentally unable to break free. This was his magnum opus, his love child, and it didn't get the light of day it deserved," she added. Despite its commercial struggle, 83 garnered immense love from the industry. 'From Mr. Bachchan to Mr. Kamal Haasan, the greats called him personally. I've never seen him receive so much love from within the industry," she noted. Mini also mentioned how the film continues to resonate with audiences. 'Till today, I get messages saying toddlers watch 83 repeatedly. People appreciate the detailing — from costumes to props. That was the darkest chapter of his filmmaking life." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
