CBFC Member Slams Kabir Singh

Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer Kabir Singh, which is a remake of Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy, has been slammed and panned by Bollywood critics for its misogynistic and violent approach to women. Actor and CBFC member Vani Tripathi Tikoo is not an admirer of the film.

Vani Tripathi Tikoo took to Twitter to bash the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directed film. "I'm serious about this thought that Misogyny is "Infectious" have been noticing the narrative around #KABIRSINGH past few days..What a terribly misogynistic and extremely violent film! Arjun Reddy was bad enough and now this remake! Am I surprised it's doing well ...Well Well! (sic).

I find it baffling that "Big Stars" make these choices who actually lead by Example! As the Cinematic journey of the country has gone beyond its "Traditional" Women as "Eye Candy" routine. Can we remember how movie characters are idolised? #StopMisogyny #KabirSingh."

Someone asked me after my last post what's wrong with an Actor choosing a role? Dear pal there is never a wrong or a right it's the choices that you make on screen to portray is what defines who you are! A character is only a piece of written paper if not enlivened by an actor!"

Despite mixed reception, Kabir Singh is already a huge hit at the box office. It has made Rs 88.37 crore in just four days and is expected to get past Rs 100 crore mark today.
