In its box office journey, Kabir Singh has braved many factors - two of biggest international sports events in the recent past. On Sunday, the Cricket World Cup clashed with the Wimbledon. Kabir Singh attracted footfall worth Rs 4 crore on Sunday and scored over Rs 10 crore in its fourth weekend.
Kabir Singh hit screens on June 21, since when it has been joined by movies such as Malaal, Article 15 and Spider-Man: Far From Home. Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 arrived in theatres this Friday and has made a whopping Rs 50 crore in three days.
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Kabir Singh is the Hindi remake of Telugu movie Arjun Reddy, starring Vijay Deverakonda. Shahid Kapoor plays the protagonist - a genius surgeon, battling alcoholism and dealing with anger management issues. Soon after the film's release, director Sandeep Reddy has been criticised as a mysigynistic film promoting toxic masqulinity.
