REVIEW | Kabir Singh

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who also helmed the original, Kabir Singh revolves around a surgeon who goes on a downward spiral of drugs and alcohol after he cannot marry the love of his life. The film also stars Soham Majumdar, Arjan Bajwa, Suresh Oberoi and Kamini Kaushal in pivotal roles.

Shahid and Kiara took to social media to thank the audience for the overwhelming response to Kabir Singh.

While the audience has been flocking to the theatres to watch Kabir Singh, critics have slammed it for its toxic masculinity. India Today reviewer Ananya Bhattacharya gave it 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Misogyny is not cool. Neither is Kabir Singh."

"Kabir Singh the film is the same film as Arjun Reddy. It is the same story, the same dialogues, the same character, the same. So if you have seen Arjun Reddy, you would know that Shahid Kapoor is merely play-acting, trying to do a Vijay Deverakonda. Shahid tries so hard to be Vijay Deverakonda that Kabir Singh loses himself after the first few scenes. So what did Sandeep Reddy Vanga and this entire cast and crew do with Kabir Singh? That's a question we don't yet have an answer to," she wrote in her review.
