Internationally, Animal has soared, collecting a remarkable Rs 527.6 crore within the first seven days. Surpassing previous hits like Gadar 2 and potentially eyeing to overtake Pathaan, the film helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga is making a substantial impact on a global scale.
- Criticism continues to pour in
Congress Rajya Sabha MP Ranjeet Ranjan criticized the film for its portrayal of violence and misogyny, citing its influence on societal norms. Additionally, concerns were raised over the usage of the song Arjan Vailly, citing its depiction in a gang war and its disrespectful portrayal of Sikh history. This controversy prompted questioning of the film's certification approval process.
Despite mixed reviews, the performances by Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol have garnered significant praise from audiences. The film, which also stars Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Shakti Kapoor, and Triptii Dimri, centers around a father-son relationship entrenched in intense, blood-soaked drama. With no immediate competition on the horizon, Animal is poised to maintain its box office dominance until the arrival of Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar.
