A Massive Start

Breaking Records
Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal has achieved a significant milestone, marking the second biggest opening in Bollywood’s history, just behind Jawan. Remarkably, for a non-holiday release, it has claimed the top spot, surpassing Pathaan. The collaboration between Kapoor and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has proven to be magical once again after their previous success with Kabir Singh.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Rebellious Streak
Known for his rebellious approach to filmmaking, Sandeep Reddy Vanga has built a reputation for defying norms. While he faced criticism in the past for toxic portrayals of male leads, his fearless attitude has garnered a massive following. With Animal, Vanga continues to push boundaries, sparking controversies and generating excitement among the audience.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Thunderous Performance
The film has received positive feedback, with audiences praising Ranbir Kapoor’s stellar performance. His seamless transition from a lover boy to a character filled with intensity has been a major draw, enticing viewers to experience the film.
Historic Day 1 Collection
Animal has etched its name in the history books by registering the biggest non-holiday opening for Bollywood at the Indian box office. With a staggering day 1 collection of 63.80 crores, it has outperformed Pathaan and, when including holiday releases, trails only behind Jawan’s 75 crores.
Clash with Sam Bahadur
Notably, Animal faces stiff competition from Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur, making its impressive day 1 numbers even more noteworthy. Despite being an ‘A’ rated film, the audience turnout has been phenomenal.
8th Highest Opening Ever
When considering releases from all Indian film industries, Animal has secured the 8th biggest opening in the history of Indian cinema. It surpassed the collections of Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar’s 2.0 and edged out Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff’s War from the top 10 openers list.
