The film could surpass the Rs 175 crore mark in its third week, note trade analysts. Here are Kabir Singh’s latest box office figures:

A remake of the Telugu blockbuster _Arjun Reddy (_starring Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey), Kabir Singh has surpassed the lifetime earnings of Kesari and Total Dhamaal. The film also trended better than Shahid Kapoor’s last film, Padmavaat (2018).  It has also recorded the best second Friday earnings (Rs 12.21 crore) compared to past releases of this year.

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, despite the commercial success, 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  negative 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.
