Animal Day 1 Box Office Collections: Biggest Non-Holiday Opening!
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal has taken the global box office by storm. Starring the talented Ranbir Kapoor, along with Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Rashmika Mandanna, this crime drama has made history with its massive opening on December 1. Surpassing all expectations, Animal has grossed an incredible ₹116 crore worldwide on its first day, making it the highest non-holiday opener for a Hindi film.
The makers of Animal took to X (formerly Twitter) to share this fantastic news, confirming the early estimates that predicted a worldwide opening of ₹100 crore. They shared a striking poster of the film, boldly proclaiming it as the “biggest non-holiday opening in Hindi Cinema ever,” with a worldwide gross of ₹116 crore.
Animal faced tough competition at the box office, releasing alongside Meghna Gulzar’s period drama Sam Bahadur, starring Vicky Kaushal. However, Animal’s remarkable opening day collection places it between two of Shah Rukh Khan’s releases this year, Jawan and Pathaan, which earned ₹125.05 crore and ₹106 crore on their respective opening days.
The film revolves around Ranbir Kapoor’s character, who plays the vengeful and angry son of Anil Kapoor. Critics have praised Ranbir’s performance, stating that he embodies the true essence of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. With a perfect blend of vulnerability and villainous traits, Ranbir captivates audiences, evoking empathy even in the midst of intense action scenes. His portrayal of the character makes you emotionally invested, rooting for him despite his flaws.

While Animal has received acclaim for its lead performances, it has also faced criticism for its misogynistic tone. The chemistry between Ranbir and Rashmika Mandanna is described as sizzling, but the film takes a problematic turn as Sandeep Reddy Vanga showcases his hero transitioning into a chauvinistic and misogynistic character effortlessly. This portrayal of toxic masculinity and the glorification of a toxic marriage has raised concerns among viewers.
Animal has undoubtedly significantly impacted the box office, capturing the attention of audiences worldwide. With its record-breaking opening and stellar performances, it has firmly established itself as a must-watch film. As the story unfolds, viewers are taken on an emotional roller coaster where love, revenge, and redemption collide. Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal is a cinematic experience that will leave you enthralled and contemplating its thought-provoking themes.
