If one sees trailer patiently, story can be clearly understood that the hero falls in love, they separate & then meet again & it is Hero's journey all throughout.
The movie titled "Kabir Singh" (Hindi remake of Telugu movie Arjun Reddy) by the same director 'Sandeep Vanga' is a story about Kabir Singh(Sahid Kapoor) all through his lifewhen he is in final year of MBBS & he meets Preeti Sikka(Kiara Advani). The movie is from Kabir Singh's perspective and it does not even care about what others feel or what others point of view are. Similar to Sanju, where the whole naration was fromm his point of view; Kabir Singh goes full blast right from first scene.
Few Scenes are criticized loudly by renowned Critics across industry but the common thing one will notice in their opinions are lack of story line understanding. When Kabir Singh's story is told of what he is, what he is doing, why he is angry(biggest weakness), all repercussions he is facing because of his anger, one cannot question on actions undertaken by him, when he his angry, with rationality.
The specific scenes that are talked about are:
i) When Kabir expresses his love to Preeti & warns every other students to stay away from her & Preeti didn't utter a word indication her acceptance or rejection, this scene is understood by critics as 'Patriarchal society born male who forces himself on a female's choice & controlling her. But the story is about Kabir Singh who is spoilt brat who's all wishes are fulfilled since birth. So why would he care about others? To support this, there's a story which his grandmother narrates in beginning of the movie.
ii) In a scene when Kabir blatantly slaps Preeti which is objected by many Critics, but again here his passionate love & his uncontrollable anger comes into play & the repercussions of which he has to face for all time ahead from uncontrollable drinking to substance abuse.
iii) He tries to rape a women on Knife point & he is a womenizer, but if one sees through the story line, he is looking for Preeti everywhere(after they get seperated) & he even names his dog after Preeti. So he is desperately wanting her & the passionate love that they had when they were together, he's missing it all very badly. He never falls in love with any other women but to satisfy his emotion and physical urge, he gets involves in physical relationship with other women, post their concent. In that 'Knife Point Rape" scene, the girl later withdraws her consent as te gut to whom she is about to get engaged, is knocking the door & Kabir is not able to control himself(as shown in most part of movie) & he tries to threaten her. Nothing happens further & he is brought to consciousness with power coming back & radio shouting "Om Shanti Om" from movie Karz.
The character played by Sahid Kaapoor is full practical & always tries to find logical solutions to problems even in case of highly emotional scenarios. Sahid performs his role with ease & perfectly. Kiara Advani in her role as all submissive women from start to end performs aptly. As the story is of Kabir, she got very little to until climax. Movie's highlight star is hero's best friend(like many other bollywood film) Soham Majumdar as 'Shiva' where he is the only constant support Kabir has since start. Other supporting roles whether be it Arjan Bajwa as his brother, Suresh Oberoi as his father, Kamini Kaushal as sorted grandmother, Adil Hussain as Dean etc, all perform their part with ease.
Critics complaints can be addressed to story writer (who is director himself) 'Sandeep Vanga' where his piece of work only bothered for Kabir Singh & no one else whether be it preeti, mom dad, his brother Karan, Preeti's parents, college dean etc. He could have chosen to incorporate other's point of view too but if he didn't, we only get two options wither to accept the fictional cinematic story or reject it. Choice lies with us. Also the stroy fails to make viewers understand the thought process of Kabir & focuses only on his action.
All songs of movie goes in background and is well received before the release itself.
Editing team could have worked more to cut short the duration as many scenes are elongated & stretched. Also the transition from one scene to another are also patchy all throughout.
Opinon: Overall the movie is good one time watch but one first need to accept the story & then sit for movie. The story unlike other cinematic work should always be kept in mind while enjoying the acts of character and one should refrain from finding his/her objectives or acceptance or approval of his or her validation in someone else's story. He or she may be right for his/her ideologies but in a fictional work, it may not hold true..
