Despite its lengthy runtime and divisive reviews, Animal has surpassed the opening day figures of many Bollywood movies in recent years, underscoring its commercial success. The film is holding its ground against Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster Jawan in the race to become the all-time top grosser of Hindi cinema, even though Jawan had earned Rs 16.25 crore on its second Monday.
Globally, Animal has achieved a remarkable collection of Rs 717.46 crore within the first 10 days of its release, showcasing its impact on the international box office as well. Notably, the Hindi version of "Animal" has now outperformed the lifetime earnings of KGF: Chapter 2, making it the seventh-biggest Hindi movie of all time on the global box office chart.
