About 'Animal'

The film 'Animal' is about a man and his poisonous connection with his father. The film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, portrays Vijay (Ranbir) as an anti-hero who will go to any length to protect his father, including shooting down 200 people with a machine gun. 

Despite his attempts, he is unable to get the acceptance of his emotionally unavailable father (Anil Kapoor). His dysfunctional relationship with his father has an impact on his relationship with his wife (Rashmika Mandanna).

Despite its remarkable success, Animal has been marred by controversy. Several social media users have accused the film of encouraging misogyny and toxic masculinity.

'Animal' was released on 01, December along with Vicky Kaushal's 'Sam Bahadur'.
