**SPOILER** Why do you think Kabir Singh did not deserve a happy endin

Sorry if this topic has been done to death here but I just can't find a thread where the discussion has been streamlined around the facts related to this character. Most of the comments are about people either projecting their fears about what the movie could encourage in society or bashing without even watching the movie. So, I would like to know, from those who HAVE watched it, because I know it sounds bad to those who haven't watched it but you really should watch it first and then form your opinion on it, did you think Kabir Singh was a misogynist? I agree that he was a very angry and aggressive person. That much is more than clear. Also, very impulsive and reckless. But a misogynist?

Can you point out which exactly are those places in the movie where you thought a character like him does not deserve a happy ending and people should be warned to not be like Kabir Singh in real life?

Personally, I thought that character was a weird character, unconventional and ofcourse not someone to be idolised for his violent ways, but also not someone I would call a bad person. I was very uncomfortable with him slapping Preeti. It was wrong completely for him to have pulled out a knife to force the girl to have sex with him, which she didn't. Other than those two instances, I thought most of what he did was well within the scope of the movie's premise. So, please tell me what you think and why?

Because he was toxic overall. He neither had respect for himself or anyone in his life. 😒😒😒

The movie should have ended with him going to that house outside Mumbai and starting a new life. And if Preeti did come back she have been shown happy in her married life

I initially thought it would be better if priety just told him off and went her way and he moved on with his life...but the more I think of it, I it’s more like they both deserve each other ...they both seemed to share a similar idea of love wherein there is a sense of ownership on the person and it’s all encompassing and crazy and obsessive

Had it been a different woman who’s idea of love was more around respect, letting each other be, the ending wouldn’t have made sense

It’s like Maddy and Kanganas happy ending in twmr....she’s toxic, dominating scheming controlling and just plain horrible some ways.......but if he had the choice of going with a better woman AND still chose her, then I guess he deserves her...

Love means diff things to diff ppl...as long as the couple share the same views abt love, they can stay together all they want and no one can question them really

This is what my personal problem with the movie was - Kabir isn’t shown as getting “serious” help. I feel like the movie could’ve shown him getting help and overcoming his problems. It would’ve sent a good msg and maybe even silence the current feminist rants against the film.

They should’ve shown him as someone who got help, recovered and moved on.

Him and Preety ending up together was kinda boring to be honest

Kabir singh type people never change, their tendencies become dormant until a trigger occurs.

He didn't respect anyone. That's true. I don't think he was toxic though. He tried to motivate his friend who had only a clinic to do better in life. Toxic people are only bad for everyone around them. He was just in a self destructive phase.

Yeah but he was not able to forget her. It would be uncharacteristic to just forget her like that. For a person who's shown to be that intense, it is not easy getting over people. I wouldn't be convinced if he could just be over her without either getting a closure or forming a bond with another person and that too in the right way. I felt the ending was the most natural way for this to have come together. If the ending had to be positive, then this is the best way to go about it. If it were to be tragic then he should've died like Devdas.

All the self destruction is pointless if he goes after her again despite knowing she is married

Exactly! I thought for Kabir and Preeti, that ending was perfect. It was about owning the other person, it was about never letting go, never giving up. And for those characters, it would have been fake if they had moved on. Both Kabir and Preeti are shown to be extremely intense. You can't just change that for the ending. Thanks for giving the TWMR example. That's perfect. It's about what is natural and logical for those two characters and not in the ideal world.
