'Animal', the long-awaited Ranbir Kapoor-Sandeep Reddy Vanga film, has made its debut in theatres. In a nutshell, it's an exhilarating and unpredictable journey, but one might contemplate whether Sandeep Reddy Vanga's penchant for portraying male characters with quasi-superhuman traits and projecting a toxic form of masculinity in the guise of virtue persists in this film, akin to his previous work, 'Kabir Singh'.

The movie appears more aimless than a narrative exploring a father-son relationship since that dynamic is seldom explored. Instead, we are presented with the mere fact that Ranbir is obsessed with his father. The film lacks a coherent structure, but if you're a genuine fan of intense and violent scenes, this might be the perfect movie for you. Ranbir earns an A for his efforts in the movie, and that might be the sole reason why considering this film for a theatrical experience is worthwhile.
