Ranbir Kapoor’s blockbuster film, ‘Animal,’ is set to premiere on Netflix today. Having stormed into theaters in December 2023, the film received widespread acclaim and financial success at the box office.
Directed by the talented Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the movie unfolds as a near-3.5-hour epic, delving into the intricate dynamics between a father, Balbir, and his son, Ranvijay. The narrative takes a gripping turn when an attempt on Balbir’s life prompts Ranvijay to embark on a quest for revenge.
Starring a powerhouse ensemble cast, including Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Triptii Dimri, the movie captivated audiences with its thrilling storyline and stellar performances.
Animal Begins Streaming on Netflix
As ‘Animal‘ makes its digital debut on Netflix, viewers have the chance to either relive the adrenaline-pumping experience or immerse themselves in the gripping narrative for the first time. The film will be available in multiple languages, catering to a diverse audience in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
In an Instagram post, Netflix teased the release, stating, “The air is dense and the temperature is rising. Witness his wild rage in Animal, streaming from January 26 on Netflix in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.”
However, despite the film’s success, ‘Animal‘ stirred controversy for allegedly glorifying toxic masculinity and misogyny. Critics argued that the movie failed to critically address these issues, instead portraying them as desirable traits of the protagonists. As a result, the film holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of only 31% among critics, adding an element of debate to its otherwise roaring success.
