The film is expected to clock in about Rs 61 crores across languages with Hindi leading from the front with Rs 50.5 crore and around Rs 10 crore coming in from Telugu and rest from the remaining languages, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. It also happens to be the biggest box office opening for Ranbir Kapoor by a huge margin, as before Animal, Ranbir’s biggest day one opening was Rs 36 crore for his film Brahmastra; Part One-Shiva.The response to the film has been so phenomenal that it has beaten Salman Khan’s latest release Tiger 3 for its day 1 collection which had called Rs 44.50 crore, with Rs 43 crore coming from Hindi.

The film as per now is available on various websites, Telegram channels and is being shared on Whatsapp like a regular forward. It is an industry that is growing at a rapid pace, it rather seems helpless when it comes to curbing piracy. Even 1st December’s second release, Vicky Kaushal and Meghna Gulzar’s Sam Bahadur, has also been leaked online, in fact Sam was released in less than 6 hours of it’s first show getting completed.

Even as Vanga’s take on women or violence unsettle you massively, those are his preferences for a protagonist as a director, and he is free to have them. The issue is lack of purpose in the story. His gun wielding angry young man comes across as a pointless rebel without a cause. What is fueling his fire and the rage within? The father-son discord that forms the crux of the story itself stays unexplored. Barring Ranbir's, the story barely invests in other characters, turning them into silent spectators including the very talented Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol. AK is excellent in the confrontational scenes and Bobby looks menacing, but both get reduced to cardboard characters.
