Animal Movie Story

Vijay Singh, also known as Vijay, is the son of Balbir Singh, a rich businessman in Delhi. Despite Balbir being strict, Vijay deeply loves his father. But because Balbir is always busy, he doesn’t realize how much Vijay cares for him and doesn’t spend much time with his family. One day, Vijay gets into trouble defending his sister Reet from bullies. Balbir, upset, sends Vijay to a boarding school in the USA. After finishing school, Vijay returns home, but arguments with his brother-in-law Varun lead to him leaving again. Vijay then marries Geetanjali and they move to the USA, cutting ties with their families. Years later, they come back to India when they hear Balbir was attacked. Vijay tries to reconcile with his family and finds out about an assassination attempt on Balbir. With the help of his cousins, Vijay uncovers the assassin’s identity and takes revenge. But in the process, he gets badly hurt. While recovering, he learns his heart donor’s fiancée was part of a plot against him. Vijay pretends to fall for her to expose the mastermind. He discovers that Abrar Haque and his brothers are behind it all. They’re Vijay’s distant relatives with a grudge against Balbir’s family. Vijay confronts Abrar, leading to a violent showdown where Vijay triumphs. Later, Balbir reveals he’s very sick. He apologizes to Vijay for not showing him enough love. Vijay is heartbroken, especially when Geetanjali leaves with their children. But their son Abhay stays with Vijay. In a surprising twist, it’s revealed that Aziz Haque, one of Abrar’s brothers, had surgery to look like Vijay. He, along with Abid and Zoya, plans revenge. The story ends with uncertainty about what lies ahead for Vijay and his family.

Animal Movie Review

The protagonist of the film believes strongly in family bonds, even if they’re dysfunctional. Writer-director Sandeep Reddy Vanga tells a tale reminiscent of The Godfather, glorifying the alpha male through extreme violence and misogyny. When Vijay’s father is attacked, he takes charge of the family business and seeks revenge. Despite his issues, Vijay maintains an active love life, displaying toxic masculinity. The film’s focus on violence and women troubles viewers, overshadowing any deeper purpose. Ranbir Kapoor shines in his role, but the story lacks depth, leaving other characters undeveloped. While the action scenes are well-shot, the film relies heavily on Kapoor’s talent. Despite his captivating performance, the lack of substance in the story disappoints. Animal could have been a powerful father-son conversation, but instead, it falls short.

On Rotten Tomatoes, only 30% of critics gave Animal a positive review, with an average rating of 4.4/10.

Bollywood Hungama awarded Animal 4.5/5 stars, praising Ranbir Kapoor’s performance and intense scenes. Rediff’s Sukanya Verma gave it 4/5 stars, describing it as a relentless mix of rage and dysfunction with twists that keep viewers engaged until the end. Firstpost’s Ganesh Aaglave gave it 3.5/5 stars, acknowledging its polarizing nature but praising its entertainment value, performances, and storytelling. Puja Awasthi of The Week also gave it 3.5/5 stars, noting its focus on a son’s quest for his father’s approval amid a backdrop of revenge, with female characters merely serving as props.
