Hyderabad: The recently released film Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, has become the most divisive film of the year, garnering criticism for its misogynistic tone. However, despite the backlash, audiences have been flocking to theaters to witness the movie's essence. Helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal has been running in cinemas for a week now, accumulating a worldwide nett collection of Rs 563.3 crore. It is steadily inching closer to Ranbir's previous blockbuster, Sanju, which grossed a worldwide collection of Rs 586.85 crore.
On Friday, the makers of the film took to Instagram and shared the Animal worldwide box office update. The caption of the post read, "#Epic Triumph #Animal." The poster prominently displayed the worldwide collection of Rs 563.3 crore and showcased Ranbir carrying a gun on his shoulder. Early estimates reported by industry tracker Sacnilk reveal that Animal has already accumulated an impressive Rs 338 crore at the Indian box office.
On its seventh day of release in India, Animal raked in Rs 25.5 crore, taking its total collection to Rs 338 crore. With this impressive feat, Animal has surpassed the box office earnings of Pathaan and Gadar 2 which garnered Rs 330.25 crore, and Rs 284.63 crore respectively. Nonetheless, Animal's exceptional performance after just one week suggests that it may soon surpass the earnings of Jawan as well, which accumulated a massive sum of Rs 367.5 crore.
