Tahir Raj Bhasin can’t keep calm now that 83 has a release date with Maharashtra government giving a green signal for theatres to open. The Ranveer Singh-starrer, directed by Kabir Khan, has booked a solo release date of December 24 — the big Christmas and New Year period that only the biggest of the biggest releases manage to secure! Tahir, who plays the role of legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar in 83, says, “I can’t wait for 83 to open in cinemas and what a release day it has booked! It’s befitting the hype around the film because 83 can turn theatres into cricket stadiums where we root and chant for India.”

He adds, “It’s a film about how underdogs India went on to become world champions, a milestone moment not just in our cricketing history but also for every Indian living in any part of the world.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
