Two years ago, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal exploded onto the big screen, shaking Bollywood with its raw storytelling, intense performances, and unapologetically bold themes. The Ranbir Kapoor–led action drama didn’t just release; it dominated. Now, as the film marks its second anniversary, Anil Kapoor is revisiting the frenzy with unseen behind-the-scenes moments that are delighting fans once again.

“2 years of a film that didn’t just release, it erupted.'

The 2023 blockbuster, which hit cinemas on December 1, became Ranbir Kapoor’s highest-grossing film, crossing Rs 900 crore worldwide and emerging as one of the biggest box-office smashes of the year.

A Film That Stirred Both Applause and Debate

Animal follows the turbulent bond between Vijay (Ranbir Kapoor) and his father, played by Anil Kapoor. Rashmika Mandanna starred as the female lead, alongside Triptii Dimri, Saurabh Sachdeva and Shakti Kapoor.

While the film enjoyed massive commercial success, it also drew criticism, with many viewers labelling it 'misogynistic.'

As Animal completes two years, the buzz surrounding it remains as strong as ever, a testament to its unforgettable impact, powerful performances and the conversations it continues to spark across audiences and critics alike.
