Wimbledon may come, Wimbledon may go and so might the cricket World Cup but Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh, it appears, runs unstoppably on and on. The controversial film continued its dream run at the box office even on a Sunday packed with the finals of two of the sporting world's biggest events. Kabir Singh released on June 21 and clocked 24 days on Sunday, which also marked its fourth weekend.

Kabir Singh has also toppled Uri: The Surgical Strike to become 2019's highest earning movie. Upon its release, it also marked Shahid's highest opening day movie; of course, it is also now his biggest hit of all time. Shahid co-stars with Kiara Advani in the film.
Kabir Singh's journey in theatres has been mired in controversy with critics slamming the film for glorifying misogyny and promoting toxic masculinity. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's defence of the movie led to more criticism. Kabir Singh is the Hindi remake of Telugu movie Arjun Reddy, starring Vijay Deverakonda.
