The Vanga Revolution: Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal is a polarizing but powerful cinematic experience. Ranbir Kapoor plays Ranvijay Singh, a man whose childhood trauma and lack of fatherly attention turn him into a volatile individual.
Characters and Depth: Ranbir Kapoor’s transformation into a bloodthirsty protector is hauntingly good. Bobby Deol as Abrar Haque became an internet sensation, despite limited screen time. The film explores the toxic side of family loyalty and the lengths one can go to for validation.
Action and Music: The film features some of the most visceral action sequences in Indian cinema. The soundtrack, especially 'Arjan Vailly', perfectly complements the film's raw energy.
Global Impact: Animal sparked massive debates about masculinity and cinematic violence. Regardless of the controversy, its massive box office collection shows that its intense storytelling resonated with millions. It is technically brilliant with long takes and a narrative that keeps you on edge for over three hours.
