Warning: Spoilers ahead

Kabir Singh, a brilliant but arrogant final‑year medical student at Delhi’s prestigious college, falls passionately in love with his junior, Preeti Sikka. Their relationship blossoms, but Preeti’s conservative family disapproves of Kabir’s volatile temperament and reckless lifestyle (drugs, alcohol, and frequent fights).

When Preeti’s parents arrange her marriage to a wealthy suitor, Kabir reacts violently, leading to his expulsion from college. He spirals into self‑destructive behavior: heavy drinking, drug abuse, and physical altercations. After a near‑fatal overdose, he is hospitalized and later moves to a remote town where he works as a surgeon.

Meanwhile, Preeti, trapped in an abusive marriage, attempts suicide but survives. She eventually reunites with Kabir, who helps her regain her independence. The film ends on a note suggesting reconciliation, though the characters’ emotional wounds remain ambiguous.
