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. Despite the film being leaked online by Tamilrockers just hours after it hit the theatres, its earnings have not been affected drastically. 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. Despite the 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, if you can’t kiss, I don’t see emotion there.” He added that critics are “parasites who are the real threat to the film industry.”
