With this, Animal is now the fourth-highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year, following Jawan, Pathaan, and Gadar 2. Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, earned Rs 643.87 crore in India, followed by Pathaan, which earned Rs 543.05 crore. Gadar 2 by Sunny Deol grossed Rs 525.45 crore. Animal has already surpassed Tiger 3's lifetime total of Rs 284.05 crore, and it has a clear run until SRK's Dunki arrives in theatres on December 21.

Animal is on track to surpass Sanju's lifetime earnings and become Ranbir's biggest-ever hit. Rajkumar Hirani's 2018 film grossed Rs 342.53 crore when it was released. Animal falls Rs 29.57 crore short of Sanju's total. This film has proven to be an even bigger success for director Sandeep Reddy Vanga than Kabir Singh as the Shahid Kapoor-starrer grossed Rs 278.24 crore nett when it was released in India in 2019.

Despite an A rating, a nearly three-and-a-half-hour run time, and negative reviews, Animal has achieved these box office milestones. Many have criticised Animal for glorifying misogyny and boasting of extreme violence. The film is set against the backdrop of crime and the underworld and revolves around a troubled father-son relationship between Anil Kapoor's character Balbir Singh and Ranbir's Ranvijay Singh. Rashmika Mandanna co-stars with Ranbir, and Bobby Deol plays the main antagonist. The film also stars Shakti Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Prithviraj, and Siddhant Karnick.
