About the movie, ‘Animal’
Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Triptii Dimri, and Rashmika Mandanna were among the other actors in Animal besides the lead role, Ranbir. T-Series Films, Bhadrakali Pictures, and Cine1 Studios produced Animal. When the movie was released, critics gave it mixed reviews. Its portrayal of toxic masculinity, misogyny, themes, and graphic violence have all drawn heavy criticism.
Ranvijay, the vicious son of a wealthy industrialist, and his troubled relationship with his father are the subject of the movie. Someone recently remarked that Animal demonstrates that violence can be used to achieve everything in life, while speaking at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Additionally, he stated that there should be little encouragement for the release of such films.
