OMG, so, like, I just watched “Animal,” and let me spill the tea on this one! 🍵🙌
First of all, can we talk about Ranbir Kapoor? 😍 He’s, like, a total heartthrob, and in this movie, he’s on another level of hotness! His acting skills, like, slayed it. But, like, the character he played had some major issues, and I couldn’t help but be a little conflicted about it. 🤔
The movie’s opening was, like, off the charts! Box office-wise, it’s a total beast, and that’s, like, impressive. 📈 But here’s the thing, the reviews were kinda mixed. Some peeps were calling it misogynistic, and I get where they’re coming from. Some moments had me like, “Seriously? 🙄”
Regional Occupancy Rates:
The film’s occupancy rates in different regions provide insights into its audience reception. In the Delhi NCR region, “Animal” had 1318 shows with an occupancy rate exceeding 79%. Mumbai hosted 1040 shows with an occupancy rate of over 55%. In Hyderabad, the film had 316 shows, and the occupancy soared past 82%. However, in Chennai, the Tamil version of the film had 88 shows, but the occupancy remained relatively low at 30%.
Comparison to Other Bollywood Openers:
Comparing “Animal” to other Bollywood openers, it’s important to note that it falls short of Shah Rukh Khan’s “Jawan,” which earned a remarkable Rs 75 crore across India on its opening day this year. However, it has surpassed “Pathaan,” which made Rs 57 crore on its first day. “Tiger 3” is the next in line, collecting Rs 44.50 crore on its opening day. “Animal” has firmly secured its place among the top Bollywood openers of the year.
Competition and Polarized Response:
“Animal” faced competition from Vicky Kaushal-starrer “Sam Bahadur,” which managed to bring in Rs 5.5 crore nett in India. The polarized response towards “Animal,” with some criticizing it as misogynistic, might work in favor of Vicky Kaushal’s film, offering viewers an alternative choice.
But, hey, it’s Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the same director as “Kabir Singh,” which was also, like, a rollercoaster of emotions. That movie, despite its controversies, did hella well, and “Animal” seems to be following in those footsteps. So, maybe it’s just his style? 🤷♀️
One thing’s for sure, “Animal” got people talking, and it’s all over the box office charts. But if you’re looking for a feel-good movie, this might not be it. It’s, like, intense and dark at times.
