Once again Kabir Singh fanbois derailing the topic

That's the whole problem tho. He was. He does all the shit he does and then gets his happy ending in a perfectly tied bow. He needed therapy. He needed redemption. All that is swept under the rug. His wakeup call comes when his career is on the line. He gets physical with the girl about something her father says. A hero needs an arc to be redeemed. He had a quick fix. And his staking claim on her,telling the woman to open up at knifepoint and the various other things he does is not treated as one being an asshole. He is treated as his symbol of masculinity. A MAN. He was romanticized.

I'm not about to throw my head against the wall to offer my opinions on this thread, but I just wanted to give you a shout out. You keep replying with such level headed poise and facts 👏👍🏼

Sympathy is... IDK, but I felt bad for, both Kabir and Preeti, and their family..

Kabir and Preeti because, all said and done, they loved each other and are suffering 'cos they're separated, can't get over each other.. I especially felt bad for Kabir because he went on a self-destructive path. Now it's easy to say, "you should / shouldn't ......" but if only it were that simple, despite all the psychoanalysis and philosophy one would throw his way, the truth is, he is still trapped in his own head (as he has been since the beginning of the film)... lost a sense of balance and separated from his lover, and that is sad..

(I never really try to discern or make a judgement of couples in real life itself, and definitely not in fictional world of a film that IMO is poorly written, although I like to understand, observe, learn, appreciate.. really, you'll find all kinds of couples and it's their choice/life in the end.. anyway I digress.)

I also felt bad for Kabir because, somewhere I saw Shahid.. if you look at his life, he drastically changed as a person after his breakup with Kareena. Now, it could be coincidental, and only in my imagination.. but I'm sure he must've drawn some dark emotions from that chapter of his life.. I know I'm looking for more than I should :p

And Preeti because, again separated from her lover.. and she wasn't given a chance to speak and clarify herself when she's helplessly trying to explain.. she gets hit by him! hit me like a jolt while watching the film..

I felt bad for Kabir's family also.. but I loved what his grandmother says at one point in the film, something that goes like.. "Suffering is very personal, let him suffer" , touched my heart..

Sure people have their flaws, everyone have their flaws. I know people with anger issues and it's not something they can help when they're consumed by it, they themselves cannot explain why they get so carried away by anger.. And they lose so much in life, and wish to change, but still cannot tame their anger... you just feel bad for them.. they're trapped in someway... and suffering is still something sad even if people say that he brought it onto himself.. nobody wants to suffer..

I sooo agree with you, I felt bad for Kabir & I loved the movie 💕💕
