The total box office collection of Kabir Singh stands at Rs 252.14 crore. However, trade analysts believe the film may face competition from Hrithik Roshan’s Super 30 which was released on 12 July.

Kabir Singh is a remake of Telugu blockbuster  _Arjun Reddy_ , starring  Vijay Deverakonda  and Shalini Pandey. Kabir Singh follows a young, successful surgeon played by Kapoor, who turns to a life of drugs and alcohol after his college sweetheart marries another man. The film also stars Kamini Kaushal, Suresh Oberoi, Arjan Bajwa and Adil Hussain. On the first day of its release, the romantic drama raked in  Rs 20.21 crore , making it the biggest opener in Kapoor’s career so far.  Kabir Singh was also  leaked online by Tamilrockers  just hours after it hit the theatres. However, that did not affect film’s earnings. Despite its tremendous performance at the box office, the film has been criticised for its blunt endorsement of misogyny and patriarchy. Kabir Singh has also received flak for normalising  violence against women. Defending his film against such criticism, Vanga  said  in a recent interview, “If you can’t slap, if you can’t touch your woman wherever you want, I don’t see any emotion there. (sic)” He also took aim at his critics calling them “parasites  who are the real threat to the film industry”.
