Kabir Singh was indeed a game-changer in Bollywood! The raw emotions and intense performances made it unforgettable. Though some criticized its portrayal of toxic masculinity, you can't deny its impact on pop culture. Those dialogues still give me goosebumps! 🤩

Shahid and Arjan's brotherly chemistry was so natural! That fight scene they mentioned is my favorite too - so relatable for anyone with siblings 😂. But honestly, the film's music is what I keep coming back to - 'Bekhayali' is eternal!

While I appreciate the performances, we should acknowledge the problematic aspects too. The glorification of Kabir's behavior wasn't ideal. That said, the film's technical brilliance and Shahid's acting were top-notch. Hope future films balance entertainment with better messaging.

Sandeep Vanga knows how to create intense characters! Though I preferred Arjun Reddy's original rawness, Kabir Singh worked because of Shahid's star power. Interesting to hear about the off-screen bonding - it definitely showed on screen. More such collaborations please!
