    This Animal is exceptionally brilliant but needs a team of psychologists to cure him

    This is surely one of the best movies that bollywood has produced in the last 10 years in terms of entertainment. All things from storyline to music and from action scenes to quality of acting are brilliantly planned and executed. Even though the running time of the movie is almost 3.5 hours you actually don't feel its length.

    RK has really nailed it this time. This performance can be surely counted as one of his very best in terms of quality of acting. As much as I want to say the same thing for Rashmika, the element of common sense is simply not allowing me. Firstly, the quality of acting displayed by her is disappointing compared to her previous performances. And further I am still not able to understand why someone like her accepted the movie after reading the script.(may be due to RK). The character she plays feels like a clown in the movie.

    The adult scenes in the movie were forcefully forced into the script and felt very unnatural. The first half of the movie is the most striking and impressive aspect, but sadly it starts to lose momentum every minute in the second half. Unnecessary and untimely placement of songs further declines the experience. The movie deviates from its original plot & theme several times which can be frustrating. Another frustrating part is that several dialogues in English and punjabi language are said so fast that 90% of audience fails to digest them. 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.

    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.

    Purely a theatre movie will not be that satisfying if witnessed on mobile or laptop.

    A FATHER SON TALE CARVED IN BLOOD

    Ranbir Kapoor's introduction as a "superstar" in the film initially raised skepticism for me. However, as I reached the halfway point, it became evident that he truly deserved the title.

    Sandeep Reddy Vanga's promise to showcase genuine violence in cinema was effectively fulfilled. In an era dominated by high-budget action films and contrived flashbacks, Vanga dared to create a world where everything is heightened to the maximum, making the violence seem normal and the behavior even more unsettling. One particularly striking scene involves Ranbir, who, after discovering a mole, compels the individual to lick his shoe as a bizarre demonstration of love. It's a level of intensity reminiscent of something Quentin Tarantino might appreciate.

    Addressing the question of logic, it's acknowledged that the film, like many others, is inherently illogical. Drawing parallels with films like Vikram, KGF, and Bahubali, it's recognized that crafting a movie with absolute logical coherence is a formidable challenge.

    However, the film does have its drawbacks. The character arcs of certain individuals, such as the mother, sister, and villain, felt underdeveloped. The hero's revenge arc could have benefited from more nuanced writing, and Rashmika's character, while an improvement from Vanga's previous works, still warranted additional depth.

    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.

    Such movies at 600 Cr so far.... What are we up to.

    Such a bogus movie at 600 cr. What are we up to? We have Sam bahadur and kadak singh in parallel which not even able to manage 100 cr.

    Basically people want drugs over ghee is such a true analogy. Sad but truth.. There is only violence and bad story in animal which you can't even ask your family to watch.

    I am against any boycotting but Indian cinema needs to come out of the 'break the skull with hammer' approach. In fact bollywood is now not able to make their own script or movies so no they are copying South Indian movies.

    Jawan was good movie but what was there in Tiger3(total waste).

    We need good movies with stories, acting, songs...

    terrible monstrosity

    "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.

    Full on violence only for RK fans

    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 👍🏽

      Ranvijay Singh: When I went seeking evil, I couldn't find any evil. When I looked within, there was no one more evil than me.

    • Crazy credits
      In the post-credits scene, Asrar, Abid and Abrar's other younger brother, Aziz, a professional assassin in Istanbul, learns that Vijay was responsible for killing Asrar and Abrar. After successfully undergoing a plastic surgery to become Vijay's doppelganger Aziz, along with Abid, sets out to exact vengeance on Vijay and his family.
    • Alternate versions
      The Indian theatrical version was certified A (adults only) after some cuts were made. While the modifications suggested by the Examining Committee were waived off based on the filmmaker/applicant's justifications and submissions, a number of verbal cuts were made to the audio as well as the subtitles. The only visual cuts made were to an intimate scene, where the closeup shots were removed.
