Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Animal‘ has been the talk of the town, ever since the movie released on December 1. The film has led to a huge stir and become the hot topic of discussion owing to the violence and a certain content shown in it. Some even found it morally wrong and misogynestic. However, the huge numbers that ‘Animal’ has garnered in the span of 4 days completely belies all criticism towards it.
Amidst all the talk around ‘Animal’, singer Adnan Samihas come out in its defence.The actor shared a long post on social media and spoke about movies like ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, ‘Sholay’ and ‘Deewar’. He said,”Can people pls stop over analysing, over thinking & over ‘moral-policing’ films? ITS-JUST-A-FILM!!! It’s a fantasy… It’s entertainment!! If you’re looking for logic then also tell me the logic behind the illogical blood donation scene that featured in Amar Akbar Anthony. Three sons of a mother donate blood to her at the same time through a singular tube! That movie is hailed as a cult classic & rightly so because we all love it! Explain the morality shown in Deewaar or the logic behind ’Thakur’ beating the crap out of Gabbar in the climax of Sholay with just his feet & no hands!!”
He further added, “That too is an incredible classic which we love!! The Godfather has us rooting for the bad guys again… Quentin Tarantino is considered a genius who has made a career out of gore!! We loved Al Pacino in ‘Scarface’!! If a movie is given an ‘A’ rating it means that only an adult can see it because an ‘adult’ is mature & educated enough to understand between what is right & wrong morally & thus would not get negatively impacted or influenced by the content of the film! So just chill watch the movie; get entertained & go home!”

Sami clarified that he hasn’t yet seen ‘Animal’. He expressed, “And, NO, I haven’t seen ‘Animal’ as yet but will always defend the right of a creative artist to express what they want to in any form of ‘art’. We as an audience have the right to like it or reject it as per our aesthetics! But it is important for us all to co-exist along with a ‘live & let live’ policy!! No one is forcing you to watch or hear anything; similarly don’t force your opinions on others, especially when those people are presenting a fantasy!! ITS-JUST-A-FILM!!!!!
‘Animal’ directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, also stars Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Tripti Dimri, Bobby Deol, alongside Ranbir.
