Continuing its rampage at the box office, Ranbir Kapoor’s crime action drama ‘Animal’ is all set to surpass ₹250 crore net collections from Indian theatricals alone by the end of day 5.
As per early estimates, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial minted around ₹39.9 crore on day 4, propelling the total domestic total to a mammoth ₹241 crore so far.
After denting 100 crore globally on opening day itself, the film raked in over ₹63 crore, ₹66 crore, and ₹71 crore on subsequent days in India.
Despite unfavorable reviews over its problematic premise, ‘Animal’ has struck a chord with the masses, especially Ranbir Kapoor fans. Night and evening occupancy remains remarkably high in major cities showing the film’s manic craze.
‘Animal’ sees Ranbir play an intense, vengeance-driven protagonist whose moral compass goes for a toss after he loses a parent. Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Rashmika Mandanna also star in key roles.
Some critics have called out the film for glorifying crime and normalizing ‘toxic masculinity’ – an allegation director Vanga has constantly battled after ‘Arjun Reddy’ and its remake ‘Kabir Singh’ as well.
