Animal Roars at the Box Office, Setting New Records

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s latest venture, “Animal,” starring Ranbir Kapoor, has carved its niche in the box office, breaking records and surpassing expectations. Despite receiving mixed to negative reviews from critics, the film’s unprecedented success story continues to make headlines in the entertainment industry.

On its third day in theaters, “Animal” showcased its box office prowess by raking in an impressive Rs 72.50 crore in the domestic market, reflecting an 8.5% surge in daily earnings compared to the previous day. This robust performance propelled the film’s three-day domestic nett collection to a staggering Rs 202.57 crore, placing it just shy of the record set by Atlee Kumar’s SRK film “Jawan” at Rs 206.06 crore.

What makes “Animal” stand out is its swift entry into the coveted Rs 200 crore club in India and the Rs 350 crore club worldwide within a mere three days. This achievement solidifies its position as the second film of the year, following “Jawan,” to reach such impressive milestones in such a short span.

Trade analyst Ramesh Bala took to Twitter to share the global success of “Animal,” revealing a worldwide gross collection of Rs 360 crore within the opening weekend. His tweet emphasized the film’s significant impact, stating, “For the 3-day opening weekend, #Animal grosses a whopping ₹ 360 Crs at the WW Box office.”

The success of “Animal” raises intriguing questions about the dynamics between critical acclaim and commercial triumph. Despite facing mixed reviews, the film’s compelling narrative and Ranbir Kapoor’s stellar performance seem to have struck a chord with the audience, driving its remarkable box office performance.

In a cinematic landscape where audience preferences often dictate a film’s fate, “Animal” has defied expectations and emerged as a force to be reckoned with. As the buzz surrounding the film continues to grow, it remains to be seen how “Animal” will fare in the coming weeks, and whether its box office roar will echo throughout the year, cementing its place as one of the defining successes of 2023.
