Animal

Even 3 is pushing it. This was so bad I'm beginning to doubt i watched a different movie than what everyone else is describing. What a downgrade from kabir singh. They wasted so much time on random stuff, more than 3 hours and here i am asking myself every second when will the "story" kick in but it feels like they forgot to do that or add depth to the characters; and I'm not a person who looks for a "purpose" in every movie that is really not my point when i say there wasn't anything going on i really mean there was nothing. Nothing feels natural, the quirkiness, the edginess, none of it was really delivered.

"Animal" is a cinematic travesty, epitomizing the nadir of modern filmmaking. Its narrative is a convoluted mess, utterly devoid of coherence or purpose. The film's relentless indulgence in gratuitous violence and misogyny is both abhorrent and indefensible. Ranbir Kapoor's performance, though earnest, is squandered in this vile spectacle. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's obsession with toxic masculinity renders the film a reprehensible glorification of brutality. "Animal" is an assault on the senses, leaving viewers repulsed and questioning the very state of cinema. I can't believe I wasted 3.25 hours on this steaming pile of diapers.

A movie about a son's (RK) love for his father (AK) and to what extreme he goes to destroy and execute those who want to harm his father! The movies focus is on RK who nailed his role perfectly as the animal he becomes on the road of revenge! Anil Kapoor played his role well. Rashmika's role wasn't special could have been played by any actress the rest of the cast were good. Bobby Deol's extended cameo ( only came at the end part of the movie) was pure swagger mixed with rage should have used more time on his character. Overall first half was epic but slows down after the interval the movie could have been shorter but if u like RK and love brutal loud action scenes then go watch it! *Not one for the family (very violent and has repetitive pointless kissing scenes and partial nudity) 7.5/10 👍🏽

Simply put it's a masterpiece !

The Director literally put his heart in this one, the complex relationship of Father and Son explained in a such a manner. I don't feel anyone ever dared to take such a step in Indian cinema. I literally enjoyed every minute of the movie it felt so realistic at times. Ranbir finally gave a great performance after Sanju!

I mean just look at the facts Sandeep made 200+mins movie which means fewer shows plus he made it adult for it to be raw and as real as possible both these things require guts everyone told me to cut the movie down and make it U/A but I am so glad he didn't.

Indian cinema these days have become very typical, like at times being a movie lover I find it difficult to understand that why are our writers and directors not being creative or trying something new/ different/ interesting.

But finally we are seeing creative movies and trust me the background score, Acting, music, costumes everything was just wow !

And I know there will be people who might find this movie too bold, too strong, lengthy and violent. I don't oppose to such things I just feel we should appreciate that atleast someone tried to break the status quo and make such a bold movie.

"Animal," directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, offers a captivating experience with impressive background music, memorable songs, and technical finesse. However, the film stumbles in terms of story strength and screenplay execution, featuring temporal shifts that lack coherence and fail to enhance the narrative.

While the first half engages with its fast pace, the second half unnecessarily prolongs the story, leaving the film feeling overly lengthy and lacking character development, especially with Ranbir Kapoor's character. His abrupt temporal shifts lack clear reasoning, contributing to a disjointed narrative.

Despite a touching emotional scene between Anil Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor towards the end, it arrives too late, leaving the audience fatigued and eager for closure. The credit scenes, though appealing, add to the film's unnecessary length.

Ranbir Kapoor's character, portrayed as a hero, raises concerns due to his criminal actions, lack of respect for others, blatant misogyny, and attitude problems. The film's attempt to celebrate such a character is problematic, as it glorifies a man-child who in reality needs therapy.

Actress Rashmika Mandanna's performance is very poor, making her unfit for the role. She was struggling to deliver convincing dialogue and lacked depth in her portrayal.

It's disheartening to witness Bollywood failing with films like "Animal." The industry has the potential for impactful cinema but seems to fall for subpar narratives. They should strive for better storytelling and more nuanced character portrayals and should avoid the pitfalls of glorifying problematic characters for the sake of entertainment.
