Ranbir Kapoor stormed into the hearts of everyone with his debut with Saawariya 15 years ago, but it is only that he is hitting his true box office potential. His latest offering Animal with Sandeep Reddy Vanga has turned out to be his biggest opening of his career with minting Rs 61 crore across languages , with Rs 50.50 crore coming from Hindi and Rs 10 crore coming from Telugu and rest from the remaining three languages ; Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.His biggest box office opener till now was Brahmastra;Part One-Shiva which had made Rs 36 .42 crore on day 1.

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.

Madhur Bhandarkar attended the premiere of Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal,' which coincided with the release of Vicky Kaushal's 'Sam Bahadur.' He lauded Ranbir's compelling performance, describing the film as a complete entertainer that seamlessly combines gripping action, drama, and a robust family angle.

The movie has been receiving mixed reviews from the audience. However, one opinion remains synonymous with everyone - Bobby Deol is wasted! People felt Bobby had a very small role in the film and there should have been more of him. The audience thought they didn't get enough of Bobby and he's called Lord Bobby for a reason.

Ranbir Kapoor starrer 'Animal' has released today and the film has hit the ball out of the park when it comes to the advance bookings. However, the film has got mixed reviews from critics. That's the same reaction from the audience. Some critics have felt that despite Ranbir Kapoor's power-packed performance, the film had no purpose for violence and it seemed uncalled for.

The film is expected to go on a rampage over the weekend, the makers have already set the wheels in motion for the second part of the film. Yes, hints were being dropped since Thursday itself that the film will have an open ending to make way for a sequel. And for the next time around, the makers have decided that Ranbir Kapoor will be playing Ranbir Kapoor’s nemesis.

On December 1, Animal hit the big screen across the country. The trailer had already hinted that it would be based on a father-and-son relationship. However, the song, 'Hua Main', also teased that the audience will get to see an intense love story revolving around Ranbir and Rashmika Mandanna. Now, a few more photos revealed that there are a lot of intimate moments in the movie between the duo.

Animal's box office prospects are generating immense excitement among trade experts and even fans. The film which was off to a flying start with its advance bookings, has already amassed an estimated Rs 20 crore in ticket sales. The great audience response and the buzz around the movie have helped boost box office business. The film is now anticipating a huge Rs 100 crore weekend. Early box office reports predict that the film will open in Hindi to a staggering collection ranging between Rs 46 crore to Rs 52 crore.

Amidst huge anticipation, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial venture 'Animal,' starring Ranbir Kapoor, finally hit Kerala theaters, prompting diverse reactions from the audience, especially on Twitter. While the film garnered substantial excitement, early social media reviews offer a mixed bag of sentiments toward the action-packed drama. "The first half excels, while the second half falters with weak execution but picks up well towards the climax.Ranbir delivers a strong performance. noteworthy music and cinematography. Overall Average!" one Malayalam Twitter review stated.

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.

Reflecting on his experience with 'Kabir Singh,' Vanga expressed his determination to autonomously craft the music for 'Animal,' sans any external influence. Bhushan Kumar lauded Vanga's collaborative spirit, praising the director's decision to independently mold the music aligned with the film's narrative. Kumar highlighted the absence of his direct involvement in 'Animal's' music creation, a contrast to his suggestions for additional songs in 'Kabir Singh,' acknowledging Vanga's artistic autonomy.

They say life doesn’t give second chances to many, and thus, if you are among the rare few to get it, you must embrace it. This is exactly what Bobby Deol has done with his second inning in the cinematic world. He has turned himself into an artist who knows the nerves of the audience. His previous endeavors have already created an imprint on the audience, and now the mystery surrounding his character in ‘Anima’ has left his fans wanting more. In the teaser, the brief glimpses of his half-naked presence answering the door hint at something sinister, debauched, and creepy, leaving audiences curious about his role in the narrative

On the one hand, where the narrative of Animal is compelling, on the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor stepping into a role quite different from his usual repertoire, is giving the audience a strong reason to reach the theatres. He plays a disturbingly devoted son with shades of darkness. Departing from the rom-com genre that has defined his career, Kapoor's portrayal delves into the unsettling corners of the human psyche.

While the film is expected to go on a rampage over the weekend, the makers have already set the wheels in motion for the second part of the film. Yes, hints were being dropped since Thursday itself that the film will have an open ending to make way for a sequel. And for the next time around, the makers have decided that Ranbir Kapoor will be playing Ranbir Kapoor’s nemesis.
