After roaring high with triumph, Kabir Singh, starring Shahid Kapoor has now fallen into big trouble. Dr Pradeep Gadge, who is a diabetologist from Mumbai has written to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting asking them to stop screenings of the film, Kabir Singh.
Dr Gadge stated that the film portrays doctor in a negative and shocking way. He said he was upset watching the film as the actor, who played the role of a surgeon, bullies, abuse women and is temperamental and ill-mannered. Dr.Gadge went on to slam that the director failed by showing how Kabir Singh does not respect his seniors or juniors. He also raised a question of how the censor board approved the film’s disturbing content.
“I understand that this film is a work of fiction. But, the film reached extreme levels of portraying us in a distorted image of reality,” he added. Pradeep Gadge also pleaded that the Indian Medical Association and other doctors in India should voice their opinions against the film as doctors are already suffering from the pseudo-bad image in the society and the film has only added a pinch to it, making it worse.
Even in Telugu, 2017 Arjun Reddy did face some backlash from the critics and a small group of audience, but the film went on to become a blockbuster and a cult classic. However, the Hindi version has been receiving severe backlash by calling it misogyny and toxic storyline.
