Definitely agree. Vanga became notorious after Kabir Singh. The hype and curiosity was to see what the director of Kabir Singh, who promised more violence, does next. And after the trailer people who lap up misogyny and toxicity lapped up his story. The whole thing is a sad commentary on state of society really.
Would the movie have opened this well without Ranbir? Chances are it would have. And if not the drop wouldn’t have been significant. Shahid has no box office pull whatsoever and Vanga gave him a 280cr movie.
Ranbir however is benefiting a lot here. He is the star and the face of this movie and now he has the tag of a 60cr opener. His PR is on a roll though
Every critic and analyst that tweets about it adds a goat next to his name #ranbirkapoor🐐
