<p>Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani play lovers in the film as they fall in love while studying at a medical college in Delhi. Their love story takes a turn when Kiara’s father does not agree to the match and gets her married to someone else. The film then shows Shahid’s character in the most vulnerable state as he suffers the loss of his love.&nbsp;</p>

Kabir Singh: First reactions in, critics call it Shahid Kapoor's best performance ever

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kabir-singh-trailer-shahid-kapoor-plays-an-angry-lover-in-hit-remake-218351">Shahid Kapoor's new film 'Kabir Singh' </a>is based on 2017 Telugu hit Árjun Reddy'. The original was a sleeper hit but was for glorifying toxic masculinity and for using anger as a tool to justify the titular character's abuse of women and people around him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the trailer launch of 'Kabir Singh', Shahid defended his character and stated that the film depicted a flawed man with all honesty.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We are very hypocritical about how we tend to look at cinema made in India," Shahid said reacting to the criticism of the original film. "We then watch things made internationally and praise them for the fact that they are so honest, straight and not trying to be politically correct all the time. Cinema is meant to showcase different people. It's not about wonderful, perfect people. I think we all are imperfect in our own ways. We all have grey areas within ourselves, we go through good and bad phases," he said at the event.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor pointed out that everyone has been angry, hurt and negative at some point.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"To me, watching a film like 'Kabir Singh' will help understand that when you allow yourself to be affected by those things, it can take you on the path of destruction. It can warn you from going in that route.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"For people who might've been there, it can be therapeutic. Cinema acts as a medicine. If you see something you relate to, it helps you have the catharsis of sorts."</p>

<p>The 'Padmaavat' star said for him, 'Kabir Singh' is a cathartic film."It makes you honestly go through that journey of a man, without trying to sugar coat it, because then that's being manipulative. Sandeep has made an honest film and people should watch it knowing that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"If people only want to come and see people going 'hey hey ha ha' then cinema won't go far. We need to be able to make real films."</p>

<p>When asked about the treatment of aggression in the original and if the makers avoided it in the remake, Shahid said the interpretation of films with evolving times cannot "always show the right thing."</p>

<p>"I did 'Jab We Met'. Who was the aggressive character in the film? I played the submissive character. In 'Padmaavat', I was playing much more quieter character and now I've done 'Kabir Singh' where I am playing an aggressive character."</p>

<p>When prodded further about how his character is territorial towards women, Shahid said in college there are alpha males, men who feel they have a sense of territorial ownership over a certain place.</p>

<p>"There are other men who aren't so aggressive in their behaviour. Some films depict those kind of characters, this film depicts this kind of character."</p>

<p>However, when asked specifically if he justifies the acts of his character, the actor said, "You see the film and see what happens to him. Tommy Singh (in 'Udta Punjab') does much worse things than 'Kabir Singh.' If I start justifying characters, I can't be an actor."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, 'Kabir Singh', also featuring Kiara Advani, is slated to release on 21st June.&nbsp;</p>
