    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...

    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.

    Mindless voilence !! No story at all !!

    Film Review: Animal screening in theatres!!

    OMG !! I can't believe I went and watched this film in the theatre!!

    Sab critics jinhone 4 aur 5 star ratings di hain .. sab chor hain !! Aur audiences, jinhe yeh film acchi lagi .. mashallah.. bahut khoob !!

    The film starts off well .. but once the violence starts just before the interval, it just doesn't end ! Aise lagta hai ki voilence ke beech main scenes daalke film banayi gayi hai !!

    Ranbir Singh's performance and full on energy are the only plus points of the film .. everyone else including Anil Kapoor have very little to do. Rashmika Mandana looks like a glorified Bhagyashree !!

    Bobby's character, though good, unfortunately has very less screen time !!

    There is an interesting scene after the end credits roll which sets the tone for the sequel - Animal Park.... hallelujah.. may the lord save us all !!!

    Watch only at the risk of losing ur sanity !!

    Janhit main jaari Going with 2/5 for this one.. my honest take on this .. maa kasam !!

    Adios 🙂!!

    Absolute wild animal

    Man. Ranbeer kapoor, and his pind brothers, what a lit and elite squad. Absolutely run havon in the city.

    Vanga simply says it bluntly on everyones face, i will dare to do what i want and show what i want and he has done that.

    Vangas vision is completely fulfilled by ranbeer and all other actors. Movie becomes little boring in 2nd half. But the finale is good. It is about the real man to man fight.

    Am still in awe of ranbeers role. This is his best acting till date. Kudos to all. Rashmika did grt in her part as well as anil kapoor. Bobby has also done good. This is a must watch theater exprnc.

    Worth one time watch but not for weak hearted and feminists

    Acting, cinematography, violence, rawness, brutality everything is fine....

    But the story logic doesn't work for me at all....

    What's the point of the movie that the director wanted to make!!!??

    Why would a son have so much love for his father for whom he can destroy the entire world but his father treats him with no care, doesn't give any time....yet for him he is the best father in the world.....not possible in reality....

    And it's too much hero-oriented film..... everything happens with no reason but bcoz hero wants it.....you don't have any connection with your kins for 20 years and all of a sudden ranbir went to ask for help to them as bodyguards and they agree giving up all their jobs... isn't that ridiculous....

    I can't connect with the attitude and point director tried to make with the movie.

    • Quotes

      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.
