Kabir Singh box office collection Day 24 Shahid Kapoor — Kabir Singh box office collection Day 25: Shahid Kapoor film gives a tough competition to new releases.

Shahid Kapoor film Kabir Singh is continuing to mint money at the box office. The film is successfully running in its fourth week, despite new releases. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial earned Rs 1.65 crore on its fourth Monday, taking the total collection to Rs 261.59 crore.

“#KabirSingh is steady… [Week 4] Fri 2.54 cr, Sat 3.75 cr, Sun 4.05 cr, Mon 1.65 cr. Total: ₹ 261.59 cr. India biz,” trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on Twitter.

The film, which also stars Kiara Advani, Arjan Bajwa, Suresh Oberoi, Kamini Kaushal, Adil Hussain and Nikita Dutta, has been receiving extreme reactions from the audience. A part of the audience has fallen in love with the film while the other is accusing the film and the director of propagating abusive behaviour against women.

In an interview with Film Companion’s Anupama Chopra, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga spoke about the criticism Kabir Singh has received. He dismissed the criticism as “pseudo”.

“When you question people’s belief system, they get angry. I think that’s what happened. It is not even a healthy criticism. It’s very pseudo. When you are deeply in love, deeply connected with the woman, there is a lot of honesty in it. If you don’t have that physical demonstration, if you don’t have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don’t see anything there,” Sandeep said.

"Working with Shahid Kapoor is like a dream come true. He was like a big brother to me on set and he taught me so many things about filmmaking and about how to give your 100 percent," Soham Majumdar, who plays Shiva in Kabir Singh, told Bollywood Hungama in an interview.

'Shahid Kapoor, what a performance'

"#KabirSingh finally saw it & Loved it. YES there are a few objectionable scenes in the film ( the one where he slaps her is way out of line ) but it's a well made film with a tight first half & a unique second half I enjoyed it &
@shahidkapoor what a performance 5 stars for You," @rajsingharora26 wrote on Twitter.

The Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta gave Kabir Singh one and a half star. In the review, Shubhra said, “Deverakonda’s undeniable charisma helps his Arjun get past rank bad behavior, but finally he gets to a point where he has to dial back. There’s a redemptive arc, and we are given that as a take-away, and the possibility of a turning-over-a-new-life, which is a great way to end a film."

She added, "Kapoor takes the movie and tries to run with it. But he has been a hero at the centre-stage for too long; his responses are too practiced, too familiar. He feels too old for this role, and his dissolution never feels as sharply realized as the one he managed so superbly in Udta Punjab.”
