Animal Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 10: Amid Backlash, Ranbir Kapoor Starrer Enters Rs 700 Crore Club

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action movie 'Animal' has made Rs 717.46 crore in worldwide revenue.

New Delhi: With its successful global theatrical run since its release on December 1, the Ranbir Kapoor film 'Animal' has captured everyone's attention. The most recent box office numbers for the movie were released by its makers on Monday. Following a 10-day run in theaters, Animal achieved a major milestone by grossing over Rs 700 crore globally.

In barely ten days, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's action movie 'Animal' has made Rs 717.46 crore in worldwide revenue. In just nine days, 'Animal' had amassed Rs 660.89 crore in global revenue. The Ranbir Kapoor movie, which also stars Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna, is under fire for encouraging toxic masculinity and misogyny.

The film review on ABP Live reads: 'Animal' depicts the drive for vengeance that turns one blind to both good and bad choices, much like any other revenge tale. The notion that perspective matters more than truth is no secret, and an enraged person interprets right and wrong based on his values. Another argument goes that since movies are merely works of fiction, they shouldn't be interpreted literally. But opinions like these typically arise when the concern is men overstepping their bounds, and they vanish when the filmmakers tackle more complex social concerns. While 'Animal', which makes abuse visually appealing, is met with thunderous applause in theaters, film like 'OMG 2' receives a lot less attention and value despite offering an exemplary perspective on sex education. Movies that endorse women's desire and sexuality are vilified, but those that advocate men's entitlement to satisfy their sexual urges—regardless of the moral implications—are appreciated. In one of the most absurd scenes, guns are fired to celebrate Ranbir Kapoor's character Ranvijay's homecoming as he walks out of the house naked. That's how the "Alpha" man implies his manhood and sense of power.

The movie is currently among the top 5 biggest grossing movies of 2023, ranking alongside Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2' and Rajinikanth's 'Jailer', as well as Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' and 'Pathaan'.
