Despite the polarising opinions, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal is going big at the box office. After opening at Rs 63.8 crore on Friday, as per early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, the Ranbir Kapoor starrer has made Rs 66 crore on Saturday. The total domestic collection of the film stands at Rs 129.80 crore.
When it comes to worldwide collection, as per trade analyst Ramesh Bala, Animal has raked in a massive Rs 230 crore. He took to X and wrote, “In 2 days, #Animal has grossed a huge Rs 230 Crs+ at the WW Box office.”
The film released in theatres clashing with Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur, which has managed to earn Rs 15.50 crore in two days (Rs 6.25 crore on Friday and Rs 9.25 crore on Saturday).
Animal also features Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Shakti Kapoor in pivotal roles.
The film is being criticised for its glorification of toxic masculinity and misogyny. Our review of the film reads: “Love happens crudely, and misogynistically in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s universe. Ranvijay spots Geetanjali (Rashmika Mandanna) while she is getting engaged. He looks at her like Kabir Singh or Arjun Reddy looked at their Preetis. I want her. Love here is more obsession and possession than affection. It is also manipulation. Ranvijay uses an evolutionary explanation to brainwash Gitanjali into marrying him. “In the olden days, there weren’t parents or castes, women chose their partners themselves. Who would you choose if not an alpha?” he asks her. It’s convoluted like feminism being mansplained.”
