Ranbir Kapoor’s latest cinematic venture, ‘Animal,’ has taken the global box office by storm, establishing its dominance in the film industry. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, renowned for his previous success with ‘Kabir Singh,’ this film has not only shattered records but also sparked significant discussion due to its controversial themes and intense portrayal.
Within a mere 12 days of its release, ‘Animal’ has scaled remarkable heights, crossing the ₹757 crore mark in worldwide gross earnings. This meteoric rise in box office collections has placed it at the pinnacle of this year’s blockbuster hits, surpassing formidable competitors like ‘Tiger 3,’ ‘Gadar 2,’ and even Ranbir Kapoor’s own highest-grossing film to date, ‘Sanju.’
The official confirmation of the film’s staggering success was shared via X (formerly Twitter), where a poster featuring Ranbir Kapoor’s striking ‘Animal’ persona celebrated the movie’s unstoppable journey with the caption: “#Animal Record Breaking Reign Continues.”
The film’s performance has been especially noteworthy in comparison to other Hindi blockbusters of the year. ‘Gadar 2,’ starring Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel, amassed ₹691 crore in global box office collections, while Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s action-packed ‘Tiger 3’ reached ₹465 crore. ‘Animal’ has soared past these figures, cementing its place among the year’s cinematic triumphs.
Domestically, ‘Animal’ is relentlessly charging toward the ₹500 crore milestone, currently standing tall at ₹458 crore. The Hindi screenings alone have surpassed the ₹400 crore mark, emphasizing its strong hold and widespread appeal among Indian audiences.
However, amidst its resounding success, ‘Animal’ has sparked controversies. Criticisms have surfaced regarding its alleged misogynistic portrayal, mirroring previous debates surrounding Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s direction in ‘Kabir Singh.’ The film’s intense and brutally violent sequences have also been subject to scrutiny.
The ensemble cast featuring Anil Kapoor as Ranbir’s father, Bobby Deol in a pivotal antagonist role as Abrar Haque, Rashmika Mandanna as Kapoor’s primary co-star, and intimate scenes featuring Triptii Dimri have all contributed to the film’s multifaceted appeal. Notably, senior actors Suresh Oberoi and Prem Chopra also grace the film with their seasoned performances.
‘Animal’ continues to captivate audiences globally, poised to potentially join the elite league of ₹1000 crore grossers like ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan.’ Its undeniable success underscores Ranbir Kapoor’s box office magnetism and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s prowess in creating impactful yet contentious cinema.
As ‘Animal’ continues its unprecedented run, its box office reign remains unchallenged, solidifying its status as a cinematic phenomenon of the year.
