Animal box office collection: Ranbir Kapoor's film mints over ₹900 crore globally
- Ranbir Kapoor's film Animal has crossed ₹900 crore worldwide despite being labeled as misogynistic and violent.
Ranbir Kapoor's starrer film Animal has continued to show its magic at the box office despite being in theatres for more than 40 days.
The action film has minted more than ₹900 crore worldwide as per the media reports.
In the domestic market, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film raked in ₹550.85 crore. "Animal", a crime action drama, emerged as one of the highest-grossing Hindi movies of 2023 despite being labeled as misogynistic and brutally violent by a section of viewers and critics.
Recently, veteran lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar took an apparent swipe at film Animal. He said, “I believe it’s a testing time for the young filmmakers today as to what kind of characters they want to create that the society will applaud. For instance, if there’s a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe or if a man says it’s okay to slap a woman, and if the film is a super duper hit, then that’s very dangerous,” Akhtar said".
The film Animal, released on 1 December, earned ₹63.8 crore on its opening day. In the first week, the film minted ₹337.58 crore, in the second week, Animal earned ₹54.45 crore, in the third week, the film raked in ₹9.57 crore and by the fourth week, Animal earned ₹7.18 crore.
The revenge action drama continues to do business despite facing competition from Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur, Prabhas’ Salaar, and Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki.
