![]() His coming of age while talking to his father when the latter was down in his life, shows his character development wonderfully written by Vanga. He acknowledged himself that's the only thing he liked about himself. He got hurt, did wrong things but still was a man of morals and came out clean when needed. We saw how he became protective for a new girl in college and she being a docile, submissive girl also fell in love with him. We saw a full circle of Kabir who was a sensitive child in love with a doll but was also possessive. Have we not come across that? Do we not become partial to other castes? My own marriage had almost become a victim of casteism but we held our own and now happily married for many years. Through his perspective, we realized he was pure and didn't believe in casteism that comes in the way of love. Don't we have such friends or colleagues or people around us who we may not like but they are like that? So, if you feel it's patriarchal and misogynistic, it is but it is that story about that man! Period. It's a story about a flawed person which is totally normal in real life. It's not your KJO type movie wherein the protagonist is a hero who won't do a bad thing, his families are happy with him, his neighbors are happy and the entire college or city is happy with him. It's about a guy who's not perfect, has anger issues but has fallen in love and doesn't want to move on after he's hurt. Ok, Kabir Singh is not your picture perfect protagonist and neither the director tried to show him in that light.
