According to Moneycontrol, the Hindi rendition alone collected a substantial Rs 54.75 crore on its opening day, with the South Indian versions, particularly Telugu, contributing over Rs 10 crore—a milestone rarely seen for a Bollywood production.
This feat surpasses the previous record held by ‘Jawan‘, emphasizing the film’s broad appeal across regions. While the Hindi earnings may have trailed ‘Jawan’, they closely matched the monumental ‘Pathaan‘ collections, a significant achievement considering the latter’s national holiday release.
Initially delayed for months, ‘Animal’ has emerged stronger, boasting refined production and a revamped marketing strategy that set the stage for its triumph. From the impactful teasers to the grand trailer launch, each promotional move set high expectations, surpassing even the blockbuster debut of ‘Brahmastra’ at Rs 37 crore.
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, ‘Animal,’ starring Ranbir Kapoor, has garnered widespread acclaim, amassing favorable responses nationwide, even though the second half is said to be weak.
