While Animal clashed with Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur on December 1, it has faced immense criticism from numerous critics for its misogynistic and violent content, despite its evident success at the box office. The film, which also features Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles, revolves around the complex relationship between a father and son.
