Shahid Kapoor got into his Kabir Singh mode a day before the film’s anniversary. On the eve of the film’s two years of release, Shahid shared a series of photos and videos of himself.
Shahid posted two Instagram reels and a photo, which had the Kabir Singh theme music playing in the background. Sharing one of his reels, Shahid wrote, “Looking back at Kabir.”
The film Kabir Singh was an official remake of the director’s own Telugu hit, Arjun Reddy. Despite being criticised for celebrating toxic masculinity, Kabir Singh was appreciated by the audience and emerged as Shahid’s biggest hit till date.
Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote in her Kabir Singh review, “To watch a character like Kabir Singh do this thing for nearly three hours plonks the viewer squarely in a place of conflict. Here’s a fellow who thinks that going through life yelling and shouting, snorting-and-drinking on the job, assuaging his raging libido with crass directness, basically being a sexist so-and-so, is an acceptable thing.”
Kabir Singh was also the third highest grossing Bollywood film of 2019.
