People have expressed opinions, stood for it or against it – the filmmaker himself has been very vocal about his feelings. Personally, truly honestly, I saw it as a character film based on a character who was deeply dysfunctional, inherently violent, who had many emotional issues – and I loved the treatment”.

Adding further KJo said that he didn’t go into deep moral communication of Animal; ” I didn’t go deep into the moral communication of the film – I was so swept by the narrative and the way the filmmaker told the story of it through sound design, screenplay, dialogue, character development, that as a filmmaker”.

Karan Johar even acknowledges the criticism Animal faced and mentions,” There are people who have called me and expressed their opinions – and agreed or disagreed with me. I have to be honest about my emotion attached to a film I’ve seen, and if it comes with criticism or flak, then I have to accept it with open arms. And if it comes with an embrace, I have to accept that as well”.

Animal is by far the most successful film in Ranbir Kapoor’s career as it made around Rs 900 crore at the box office all over. Animal featured Rashmika Mandanna and Triptii Dimri in the female lead roles and they both became a huge sensation after this.
