Despite mixed reviews, the film was a massive hit, grossing over ₹379 crore globally, making it one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2019.
Critics argued that the film glorified toxic masculinity. Specific scenes drew heavy criticism—most notably, the moment when Kabir slaps Preeti. Detractors also pointed to Preeti’s portrayal as a submissive, silent character who accepts Kabir’s aggressive behavior without resistance. The film was accused of legitimizing male misogyny and violence, with some calling it a "dangerous celebration of abuse". movies4uvipkabir singh 2019 hindi movie h 2021
