Animal Movie Review

Review: According to the film’s protagonist, family bonds are crucial, and the safety and unity of the family are held above all, even in twisted relations. The notion that dysfunctional is better than broken is explored.

Throughout the exhaustive 3-hour and 21-minute runtime, filled with intense bloodshed, testosterone, and blatant misogyny, writer-director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his controversial statements, takes us on an alpha male glorification journey akin to a Godfather-style tale.

When Vijay’s father is shot, he declares himself the ‘man of the house’ and prioritizes revenge while pledging to safeguard the family’s steel empire and legacy. Despite his anger and family issues, he maintains an active love life, with his seduction of Geetanjali (Rashmika Mandanna) marked by toxic macho traits and erratic humor.

There’s a playful tone when Vijay tells Geetanjali not to call him “bhaiyya” and humorously comments on her childbearing hips. Even his high-altitude escapade with her in a private jet is described with a hint of amusement. The review highlights Vijay’s expectation for forgiveness, even for his infidelity, and humorously references his argument questioning women’s complaints about period pain.

The review acknowledges the pop culture celebration of bad boys and recognizes Vanga’s take on this, even if it unsettles the viewer. It lightens the criticism by attributing Vanga’s preferences to his role as a director. The central issue highlighted is the lack of purpose in Vijay’s character, described as a rebel without a cause.

Cocky, broken, and problematic characters are celebrated, but the review humorously suggests they need a strong reason for their mayhem if not outright justification. Vijay’s lack of a compelling reason makes “Animal” come across as a swag-filled, substance-lacking family drama.

The focus on Ranbir Kapoor’s talent and stardom is maintained, with a playful tone about his raw sex appeal and unmatched intensity. The review humorously points out that while Ranbir can be Joaquin Phoenix, “Animal” is certainly no Joker. The suggestion for a simpler conversation between the father and son lightens the critique.
