MUMBAI: Animal, the film directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is a topic of a lot of discussion. Animal starring Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Ranbir Kapoor, and others, is now one of the highest-earning movies of 2023. It has crossed the Rs 700 crore mark at the box office worldwide. Despite doing quite well at the box office, a lot of criticism has been directed towards it. Animal makers are facing criticism for the film's controversial and violent nature.
