MUMBAI: Actor Ranveer Singh-headlined cricket drama '83' has clocked Rs 47 crore at the box office, the makers said Monday.

The Kabir Khan directorial, which chronicles the Indian cricket team's fascinating 1983 World Cup victory, released on December 24 in more than 3,000 screens in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
