Kabir Singh2019

Introduction: I watched Kabir Singh purely because of Shahid Kapoor, who really caught my attention in this intense drama. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, it’s a remake of his own film, Arjun Reddy, and has been a subject of a lot of discussions. Plot Summary: The film follows Kabir Singh, a talented surgeon with a self-destructive attitude, as he spirals into chaos after a heartbreak. His journey is one of intense emotions, toxic relationships, and personal demons. The film showcases the darker side of love and obsession, but it’s definitely not for everyone. Cinematography and Direction: Vanga’s direction brings out the raw, gritty nature of Kabir’s character, though at times it feels overwhelming. The cinematography is engaging, and the bold choices in framing and lighting highlight the chaos surrounding Kabir. Acting: Shahid Kapoor gives a powerhouse performance. His portrayal of Kabir is layered and intense, capturing the character’s flaws with conviction. Kiara Advani also shines in her role as the love interest, although the film's treatment of her character has been a point of controversy. Rating: 7.5/10
