Kabir Singh

abir Singh an adaptation of Telugu hit blockbuster Arjun Singh is now rocking the northern region of the country. The story revolves around a brilliant medical student Kabir portrayed by Shahid Kapoor, Kwho fell in love with his junior Preety portrayed by Kiara Advani. Kabir who have some serious anger issues is very much self- destructive and can do anything for his love and can go to the highest extremes one can imagine.

The film is highly controversial as according to many experts it depicts the brash male toxicity, alcoholism, drug addiction, misogyny, and womanizing. Some experts and audience even say that in the film misogyny is too extreme. Kiara Advani who’s role is nothing but a filler role and mostly she remains in the background of the film. Shahid Kapoor played the role of Kabir Singh so brilliantly. Everything is on point from his acting, to his expressions and everything. Kabir Singh Music of this film is good and getting very positive response. Director : Sandeep Reddy Vanga Except from the dark twisted story of the psychotic lover people liked everything in the movie. It could’ve been better if there Cast : Shahid Kapoor is more morally correct things than only misogyny and other Kiara Advani negative aspects. Arjan Bajwa Rating : 2.5/5
