Ranbir Kapoor’s latest venture, “Animal,” helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, seems to have emerged as the actor’s most promising opener, raking in a substantial ₹60 crore across various languages on its inaugural day.
Animal’s Box Office Triumph
According to initial estimates disclosed by Sacnilk, “Animal” has recorded an impressive ₹60 crore at the national box office on Day 1, marking a significant achievement in Ranbir Kapoor’s cinematic journey. The staggering collection comprises ₹49.50 crore from the Hindi belt and an additional ₹10 crore from the Telugu market. The film’s association with Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director renowned for his blockbuster debut, “Arjun Reddy,” and featuring Rashmika Mandanna, celebrated for her recent hits like “Pushpa: The Rule” and “Sita Ramam,” has notably amplified its appeal among Telugu audiences.
Global Projections
Forecasts from the same report indicate an anticipated worldwide opening of ₹100 crore for Ranbir’s “Animal,” solidifying its position as his most significant debut both domestically and on the global stage. The movie’s release coincided with Meghna Gulzar’s period drama, “Sam Bahadur,” starring Vicky Kaushal. However, “Sam Bahadur” appears to lag substantially behind, with early approximations suggesting an opening collection of merely ₹5 crore in India.
Insight into ‘Animal’
The ensemble cast of “Animal” includes stellar performers such as Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra, and Tripti Dimri. With a runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes, the film offers an extensive cinematic experience.
Critical Appraisal
A review by Hindustan Times applauds Ranbir Kapoor’s portrayal, stating, “Ranbir embodies Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’ in its true essence. He flawlessly balances vulnerability and villainous traits, evoking empathy even in moments of peril.” However, the review also highlights the film’s contentious themes, expressing concern over its depiction of misogyny: “While Ranbir and Rashmika’s on-screen chemistry ignites the screen, Sandeep’s portrayal soon transforms the protagonist into a chauvinistic character, perpetuating toxic marital ideologies.”
In conclusion, “Animal” stands tall as Ranbir Kapoor’s blockbuster opener, captivating audiences with its compelling narrative while simultaneously stirring debates over its portrayal of sensitive themes.
