If Kabir Singh has left a section of the audience appalled at its misogynistic attitude, one can't deny that the film has also managed to resonate with several cinegoers and mint over Rs 200 crore in the process. Shahid Kapoor is in a happy place as he enjoys his biggest hit as a solo hero. "The love that the film has got is way beyond its box-office numbers. I am grateful to the audience for the kind of love they have given to the film," he beams.

A remake of the Telugu hit Arjun Reddy (2017), the Sandeep Reddy Vanga-directed venture has been criticised for glorifying toxic masculinity and endorsing violent behaviour towards women. In a recent interview, the director defended the film, claiming that it isn't true love if one doesn't have "the liberty of slapping each other". Vanga has since been slammed by netizens for his remarks.
