Kabir Singh remained almost unaffected by the release of Malal and Spider-Man: Far From Home. However, the equation may not remain the same with Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 releasing today. Super 30, based on the life of matahematician and educationist Anand Kumar, released to lukewarm reviews today.

Reviews-wise Kabir Singh also hit a setback with critics dismissing the film as 'misogynistic' and promoting 'toxic masculinity.' However, the poor reviews could not change the film's box office fate. Shahid Kapoor thanked his fans for the success of Kabir Singh and said, "The most flawed character I have ever played has become my most loved. Indeed Indian cinema and the audience has come a long way. More power to brave choices. More power to you all for your maturity and humanness."

Your love is so overwhelming words will always fall short. Thank you for understanding him forgiving him and loving him with all your heart. We all fall apart. And we all must strive to rise from our faults. To be better. To be wiser. To be kinder. He is flawed. So are we all. You didn't judge him you experienced him. You understood him. I have never ever felt so thankful. The most flawed character I have ever played. Has become my most loved. Indeed indian cinema and the audience has come a long way. More power to brave choices. More power to you all for your maturity and humanness. You have given me wings to fly. To not only be burdened by the need to be loved to be a star but to have the courage to be hated in equal measure to be an actor. Here's to cinema mirroring life. To protagonists who don't have to be restricted by their goodness and can be human and imperfect. There is perfection in imperfection and that is the beauty and the challenge of this human life. Thank you. Again and again. You all are the heroes of this story.
