On day one, Animal earned  Rs 116 crore globally, surpassing SRKs Pathaan, which made Rs 104.80 crore worldwide on the opening day. However, it’s uncertain if Animal can beat Pathaan’s second-day collections. Pathaan made Rs 70.50 crore on day two, while SRK’s Jawan earned Rs 63.50 crores on its second day following a Rs 75 crore opening day haul.  

Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles. The film has opened to mixed reviews, with fans praising Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in the film, but criticising Vanga’s controversial storytelling. The film clashed with Sam Bahadur at the box office. Directed by Meghana Gulzar and starring Vicky Kaushal, the biopic managed to mint Rs 5.50 crores on the opening day.
