Kabir Singh is written and directed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy. It follows a young, successful surgeon, 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.

The film brought to the fore an impassioned debate about its blunt endorsement of misogyny and patriarchy, as pointed out by multiple film critics. Kabir Singh has also received flak for normalising  violence against women .
