In a phenomenal display of box office prowess, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal,’ featuring the stellar cast of Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Tripti Dimri, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, continues to dominate the charts. The ‘A’ rated film’s exceptional third Friday performance, coupled with a monumental second week, has propelled it to new heights.
As per reports, ‘Animal’ raked in a staggering net total of Rs 130 crore on its third Friday alone, with an additional Rs 8 crore from other sectors, bringing the film’s total Hindi collections to an impressive Rs 426 crore. This places ‘Animal’ firmly among the highest-grossing Hindi films in India, trailing only behind blockbusters like ‘Jawan,’ ‘Pathaan,’ ‘Gadar 2,’ and ‘Baahubali 2.’
The film’s record-breaking run over the past two weeks has set the stage for a showdown at the box office with the upcoming releases of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki’ and Prabhas’ ‘Salaar.’ With all eyes now on the coveted Rs 500 crore mark, the RK starrer faces the challenge of sustaining its momentum in the face of new competition.
Amidst speculations about potential screen-sharing challenges with the release of ‘Dunki’ and ‘Salaar,’ industry insiders are closely monitoring the box office potential of this action-packed entertainer.
On the global stage, ‘Animal’ is already on track to surpass the Rs 800 crore mark, securing its place among the top three best Indian films of the year, just behind Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ and ‘Pathaan.’ Despite controversies, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial has garnered positive reviews from audiences and critics worldwide, cementing its position as a blockbuster success.
