Kabir Singh recently outgrossed Uri to become the biggest Bollywood film of 2019.
Despite being a blockbuster, the film has evoked criticism due to its alleged glamourisation of sexism and toxic masculinity. The fans, though, have loved it and this has carried the film through.
Arjan Bajwa, Suresh Oberoi, Kamini Kaushal, Adil Hussain, Nikita Dutta also star in Kabir Singh.
In an interview with Film Companion, Sandeep Reddy Vanga said, “When you question people’s belief system, they get angry. I think that’s what happened. It is not even a healthy criticism. It’s very pseudo. When you are deeply in love, deeply connected with the woman, there is a lot of honesty in it. If you don’t have that physical demonstration, if you don’t have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don’t see anything there.”
In an interview with indianexpress.com Shahid Kapoor shared, "The good thing about Kabir Singh is that I was getting to play a type of character that had a lot to do as an actor, and I was getting to do it in a film that I think is pretty wide in its appeal. The love story in it is also so different. So I didn’t think much. I wanted to take up this as a challenge. I didn’t want to ruin it, that’s all."
@HimeshMankad tweeted, "#KabirSingh has emerged the HIGHEST GROSSING FILM OF 2019. A year back, if I had said #ShahidKapoor and #VickyKaushal film would earn more than a #SalmanKhan Eid release, everyone would have laughed. But well, "Yeh Naya India Hai".... Content is ruling, Audience WOM is the KING!"

"#KabirSingh gave me goosebumps mainly because it highlights terrible misogynistic micro and macroagressions in medical universities across India but take a bow @shahidkapoor. You are a brilliant actor! Only reason I sat through the whole film was your sheer brilliance onscreen," tweeted @krishna_gauri.
