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. It also crossed the extended first week earnings of Akshay Kumar’s period drama  Kesari , Ranveer Singh-fronted musical drama  Gully Boy , and Ajay Devgn’s comedy  Total Dhamaal  within six days. 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 the gross misogyny and patriarchy that the film unabashedly celebrates and the inappropriateness of such problematic narratives. Kabir Singh has also received flak for 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.
