According to a Sacnilk.com report, ‘Animal’ added a substantial ₹10 crore to its domestic box office collection on its 13th day, pushing its total earnings in India to an impressive ₹467.84 crore across all languages. This consistent performance underscores the film’s strong appeal among viewers.
Opening to a noteworthy ₹63.8 crore in all languages on December 1, ‘Animal’ maintained its momentum, garnering ₹10 crore on its 13th day, following a collection of ₹12.72 crore on its 12th day. Notably, the film surged into the ₹300 crore club within its first week, emerging as one of Ranbir’s most significant cinematic ventures.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar for T-Series, Murad Khetani for Cine1 Studios, and Pranay Reddy Vanga for Bhadrakali Pictures, ‘Animal’ hit theaters on December 1, 2023, facing off against Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Sam Bahadur.’
