Exactly....What’s frustrating is when people dismiss off the a woman's struggle to get some respect as something she does for thrills as she is being already given everything that many others cannot even dream of....Like how the TM was trivializing a ‘slap’ as apparently it cannot be called as domestic violence! There are people in my own family (both men and some older women) who fail to understand what the feminists are talking about as women now are being ‘allowed’ to do everything that a man does...I mean, its just next to impossible to make some people understand what our real struggles are and what we are fighting for!

i am also surprised some female members haven't commented "but what if a female falsely accuses a man ..??" because lets focus on the possible 1% scenario where male might be the victim

Let’s see how much this movie earns. Women who write essays on feminism spend money on Kabir Singh and ignore women centric movies . See how Chapaak n Panga flopped.

Oh and also the ‘wonder what she did to make him so angry’....Voices of reason I suppose!

An Ofcourse the debate that would happens If it fails to earn are the audience too set in their ways or was the film simply not engaging enough 🤔

Most of the movie watching crowd( at least in India as per the official sources) is male and the failures of female centric movies like Chapaak and Panga land squarely and clearly on them....And I will be surprised if the fate of this movie turns out to be any different!

And if it doesn't earn a profit? And if 99.99% of even women agree it is all right to slap a wife?

Does it make it all right to assault another human? Because this IS assault. If he did it to anyone else, his backside would be in prison.

what a scary world for the men of India if they can't even slap their wives any more.. western influences !! feminism running amok!!

RIGHT?! Look how much we are oppressing them by taking away their patrimonial rights of hitting their wives 🥺 Ab yeh log kya karenge. How else will they treat their wives like shit. 😭 Will they really have to treat them as fellow hu- 🤢 hu- 🤢 man 🤢 beings I can't even say it...who deserve respect?! Goodness. I really hope the great book of Desi Patriarchy 101 has some solution to this or else 😭 Dark days ahead for Indian men. 😭

But Kabir Singh was inherently pitched as a love story...and ofcourse the most attractive emotion was it's usp - unrequited love + great music....as a final product Kabir Singh engaged the audience more and Panga , Chhapaak dint... engagement factor matters I believe.

I liked the trailer and the message too. I'm also one of those who didn't see a problem with KS hitting Preity, any more than Preity hitting him. That was their story and their choices. This movie is about how someone can choose to take such a big decision of walking out of a marriage, disturbing their settled life, because of one slap. I appreciate it because I believe everybody has their own thresholds or expectations from life and they should live accordingly. I don't believe in setting others' boundaries in personal relationships for them. Everybody gets to choose for themselves and they should not be judged for it. Their choice.

But I do want to say one thing. I am very short tempered and in my previous relationship, I was the one who lost it very frequently. And I realised after a while that it did start small and gradually got bigger because my ex took it. When I realised where I'm wrong and I should be controlling myself, I was still helpless because the triggers started coming exceedingly frequently and before I could stop myself I would be blasting at him. It never got to physical violence but I hated that I lost my temper so badly at him and I really did regret it. It wasn't me who convinced him to stay with me with false promises of better behaviour in future though, he stayed with me for some reason. But because of this, I know now that it's not that the "abuser" has malicious intent towards the "victim". It may be a case of both of them just losing to their weaknesses. I really did love him, maybe I lost some hesitation or respect along the way for him. But it's not like I didn't respect him also, it's just that I got so used to that situation where something would go wrong and then my temper went directly from 0 to 10. It wasn't intentional, I did try to control but on my own, didn't take professional help. I felt extremely sorry then and even now and although our break up was for other reasons, this did factor in it, especially from my side. I couldn't believe that I could behave this way with anyone, especially someone I loved. So, I think it may not be right to assume that whoever is the aggressor is actually a bad person, they might be just struggling with their own thing and not really trapping the "victim" in the relationship. I was at fault but I never wished bad for my ex. They should show these relationships with both sides being in the grey like they usually are, instead of black and white. It can just be two people going through stuff instead of a hero and the other a villain.

Having said that, I know there are people who are just plain evil and sure they deserve to be called out. My point was just to present the side where either of the two may not be completely black.

She is amazing at everything she does!
