On the first day of its release, the film raked in  Rs 20.21 crore , making it the biggest opener in Kapoor’s career so far. Trade analysts have called it the “best trending film of 2019”. However, Kabir Singh has received mostly negative reviews for promoting misogyny and normalising  violence against women . Recently, a Mumbai-based doctor had also raised objection against the the film for its  portrayal of doctors  in the film. He had written to Maharashtra Health Minister Eknath Shinde, stating that the film sends a “wrong message” about the medical profession.

#KabirSingh benchmarks...
Crossed ₹ 50 cr: Day 3
₹ 100 cr: Day 5
Will cross ₹ 150 cr today [Day 9]
It’s difficult to guesstimate the *lifetime biz* of #KabirSingh, since the film refuses to slow down... Best trending film of 2019 [so far]. India biz. ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER.
