Lack of twists and turns makes it boring at times. Boby deols screen time is not more than 25 minutes, and that too without a single dialouge, which is again disappointing and surprising because the trailer of the movie makes him look like one of the leads.
A telling example is when a film critic with a movie portal recently criticised Sandeep Reddy Vanga's latest film 'Animal' for its portrayal of toxic masculinity, unwarranted violence and not being entertaining enough.
The film gives a thumbs up to the idea of revenge by men through gory, violent acts and random sex — it reiterates patriarchal notions about 'guarding' women. The protagonist, played by Ranbir Kapoor, is a man with a narcissistic personality disorder, a moneyed brat who will do anything in the name of family honour.
While the film has faced its share of criticism for its graphic content and portrayal of masculinity, it has also garnered significant commercial success, grossing over Rs 900 crore globally. Interestingly, this isn't the first time Vanga has courted controversy with his films.

What is animal standpoint criticism?
The animal standpoint requires interpretation on our part. It is not the animal standpoint that provides “crucial insight” but rather the anti-speciesist, “total liberation standpoint” of Best and other like-minded (human) theorists.
In its first week the film earned over $19.2 million from international markets. The film has grossed over ₹662.33 crore (US$83 million) in India and ₹255.49 crore (US$32 million) in overseas for a worldwide gross collection of ₹917.82 crore (US$110 million).
If there was one film that qualified as controversy's favourite child from the output of Hindi cinema in 2023, it was Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, a drama centred on a son's desperate need for validation and affection from his absent father, and the hell he raises when the “Papa” he so dearly loves is caught in ...
The fee has to be re-negotiated on the basis of the volume of success." While Vanga's fee for Animal is not known, this is Ranbir's biggest budgeted film till date, reportedly close to Rs 175 crore (Rs 1.7 billion). His fee is reportedly Rs 80 crore (Rs 800 million).
The movie “Animal” may exaggerate certain elements for dramatic effect, but its underlying message is pivotal. It challenges men to confront the skeletons in their closets, urging them to acknowledge the impact of their upbringing and past traumas on their present behaviour.
'Animal', which hit the screens on December 1, was one of the highest earning Hindi films of 2023 despite being criticised for its poor portrayal of women, misogyny and graphic violence. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the action drama had its digital premiere on Netflix last week.
There is a frenzied stabbing which shows blood sprays. Fight scenes - in which guns, blades and fists are used - are sustained and bloody. Blood spurts shown. There is sight of a severed arm, as well as piles of bloody corpses with bloody aftermath shown.
Critics of this era focused frequently on the implications of the text's form. Some lauded Orwell's skillful deployment of the barnyard fable, while others—and particularly those on the political left—excoriated the novel for its historical inaccuracy, disillusion, and failure of political imagination.
Despite its commercial success, 'Animal' has faced criticism for its portrayal of toxic masculinity, with notable figures like RJ Balaji, Javed Akhtar, and Kangana Ranaut expressing reservations about the film's impact on societal attitudes.
The plot will test your nerve, thinking that the director thinks of audience as fools. The last fighting scene was cringe, felt cringier with unnecessary loud song.
But all things said, we cannot deny the fact that it is something very fresh and unique, which the audience will love. One of the most aesthetically appealing & enjoyable movie from Bollywood in long time. The message it delivers between a father and son is very beautiful and climax makes up for all the faults it has.
It will be a delight to watch the actor channel his inner animal. For the action drama, Bobby negotiated a compensation of 4 crore (US$ 480,942), a similar figure as Rashmika.
Newlywed actors Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are worth ₹800 crore together. Alia's net worth was valued at ₹517 crore in 2021. In comparison, Ranbir's net worth, according to Duff and Phelps, was ₹203 crore last year.
The makers have officially confirmed the film's sequel. If you like Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Animal', then there's good news for you. On Tuesday, production banner T-Series officially announced the sequel of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial. 'Animal' is one of the most successful films of 2023.
Animal is a complicated film with a top-tier Ranbir Kapoor, who delivers a powerhouse performance that is worth the price of admission alone. What the film lacks in substance, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga makes up for with sheer audacity and bloodshed.
As per reports, the movie is not based on a real-life story or a gangster's true story. It is a fictional crime-drama thriller directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who is known for his dark and violent movies. As seen in the movie's trailer, it has a lot of violent fight sequences.
Parents need to know that Animal is an extremely violent Indian action drama full of gore, misogyny, and strong language. Ranbir Kapoor stars as Ranvijay Singh whose daddy issues and thirst for revenge lead him deep into a world of crime. The film has intense blood, gore, and violence throughout.
In summary, while I wouldn't classify it as a masterpiece, the film has its merits, particularly in exploring the dynamics of father-son and husband-wife relationships alongside the intense action sequences. It's a unique cinematic experience that some may appreciate for its visceral yet somewhat polarizing elements.
