Despite drawing flak for its misogynistic theme, Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani-starrer Kabir Singh nears Rs 100-crore mark

Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani in Kabir Singh
In the days since Kabir Singh hit screens, the Shahid Kapoor-starrer has been criticised for glorifying misogyny and toxic masculinity. However, a quick look at the box office numbers indicates that the film's problematic theme hasn't deterred the audience from flocking to theatres. The film, an official adaptation of the Telugu hit Arjun Reddy (2017), earned Rs 17.54 crore on Monday to take its four-day tally to Rs 88.73 crore.
Trade analyst Komal Nahta points out how the film is on its way to become Kapoor's first R100-crore hit as a solo hero. "It has been a while since we have had an obsessive love story. That is one of the reasons the audience is lapping it up," he reasons.
