The recently released Hindi film 'Animal' has performed well at the box office and the movie in two weeks has earned more than Rs 650 crore at the box office. Directed by Sandeep Vanga Reddy, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna in lead roles. The film though made a commercial success, it faced a lot of criticism over its misogynistic portrayal.
Now, cinematographer Siddhartha Nuni took to social media and called out the movie to be triggering. Taking to Instagram, he penned a note on his story saying, "I had watched ‘Animal’ yesterday and honestly the film had triggered me to no end. The films Nazi glorifying (wearing the swastika on the chest), justifying toxic masculinity with random alpha male theories, the no holds barred violence with no rule of law, marital rape, abusive relationships where the woman is relegated to be a mute bystander while the husband behaves like a brute.”
He also spoke about the film's last shot and said that it was abusive. His note read, "And the last shot of the film where the character of Ranbir Kapoor signals to the audience to come and suck his p***s were beyond redemption and abusive to the audiences’ minds. The fact that this film collected so much money reflects the social condition of the country we live in? And for an A rated film, I have seen young children in the audience at a popular multiplex in Hyderabad. Where is the censorship and responsibility to protect young minds?”
Animal stars Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in lead roles. The film is about a man who is looking for an approval from his father
