Violence hits its peak. Gore is the main attraction. It’s a massacre everywhere. It’s ferocious and evil. The eagerly anticipated Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has finally arrived, starring Ranbir Kapoor in a sinister, frightening, and insane role. Do we adore him? Yes, without a doubt! Do we hate him? Definitely! Since the teaser and trailer for Animal were released, the film’s dubious premise has already been explored. The entire movie consists of a succession of scenes, feelings, and happenings building to a rather lackluster finale that is shot so quickly that you find yourself wondering whether there will be more after the credits have rolled.
You join Animal on a brutal, loud, graphic, and violent adventure, and for the most part, you don’t protest. It really draws you in with its compelling story and scope, yet every time the hero acts, you’re left wondering a lot. Exalted as an anti-hero, Ranvijay Singh (Ranbir Kapoor) worships and idolizes his father Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor), for whom he yearns for love and affection for the majority of his youth, but in vain. Hence, father troubles manifest early in infancy and have a noticeable impact on the majority of his formative years.
Misogynistic to the core: Ranbir Kapoor
If you were offended by Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh in the film Sandeep Reddy Vanga, wait until you see Animal, which portrays Ranbir as the height of misogyny and shows no remorse for it. He is both adored, loathed, and misunderstood; whether it’s scolding his elder sister, a Harvard degree, for simply urging her to “keep quiet” in her marriage or advising his younger sister to drink wine instead of alcohol. Being the spoiled, entitled brat that he is, Ranvijay believes he is the man in command after his father. Therefore, if the women of the house—that is, the sisters—get into any problem, he would take the law into his own hands to make things right.
Having said that, Ranbir is at the peak of his game and truly emerges as Sandeep Reddy Vanga Vanga’s Animal. He has the perfect balance of wicked qualities and vulnerability. You fall in love with him right away, and even when he gets shot or punched in the face, you feel awful for him and never want him to die.
Review
Animal’s goal is to give you a headache since the high-pitched conversations will hurt and puncture your ears. Then there are other parts, both audibly and visually, that you wish were played down.
For example, it’s not very pleasant to hear men’s pubic hair mentioned frequently as a symbol of manhood. or when Ranbir talks to a psychotherapist about his relationship life after his accident. Together with Pranay Reddy Vanga and Saurabh Gupta, Sandeep co-wrote the screenplay, which handles all the suspenseful parts and makes sure that every frame is a visually stunning feast. However, in the midst of all of this, logic is neglected, and the narrative is continually drawn out, particularly in the second part.
The on-screen chemistry between Ranbir and Rashmika is undoubtedly hot, but Sandeep soon finds his groove, effortlessly portraying his hero transform into a chauvinist and misogynist and elevating the concept of a toxic marriage. This is carrying on and amplifying the Kabir Singh lineage, whether it be by repeatedly yanking her bra string and leaving her with bruises before calming her down or by cheating on her with another woman yet having her return to kiss and love him.
Anil Kapoor, among others, gives a sincere performance; it’s clear that he was energized by Ranbir’s enthusiasm on screen. Whether their situations are emotional or aggressive, you would find them sympathetic as a couple. Anshul Chauhan, Saloni Batra, and Charu Shankar, who plays Ranvijay’s mother, are among the actors who do a good job in their roles. In cameos, Prem Chopra and Shakti Kapoor leave an impression, while Tripti Dimri’s unique appearance is something to look forward to.
Animal is a massively exciting, violent thriller that defies convention and is incredibly popular. If you choose to see the violence, go with caution as it contains a significant amount of gore that you may find too much for your stomach.
