The Sandeep Reddy Vanga-directed Kabir Singh released on June 21 amidst wider expectations from audiences who had lapped up to the Telugu original directed by Sandeep himself. The film opened up to predominantly negative reviews, sparking a debate on the representation versus glorification of misogyny in film.
Unlike the remake, the original had received unanimous praise from critics and audiences alike, for its raw and unblemished portrayal of self-destruction and his eventual redemption. The film was also hailed for the performances of its lead cast, especially that of Vijay Deverakonda, which catapulted him to superstardom.
But Kabir Singh is panned by critics and a section of audience for its problematic portrayal of women and the palpable presence of sexist overtones. With the Tamil remake of the film, titled Adithya Varma, is also scheduled for a release, and the teaser has garnered a lot of attention from netizens. There might be a chance where the aforementioned situation might repeat itself with the Kollywood remake. Now will that be a challenge to the official Tamil remake? Let's wait and watch.
On the BO front, Kabir Singh has raked in the moolah at the box office, garnering more than seventy crores at the box office in the first weekend.
