As December 1 approaches, the box office clash between Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal is creating anticipation among fans. While both films have managed to generate considerable pre-release buzz, Ranbir’s violent crime saga is surging ahead of Vicky Kaushal’s biopic.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Animal has already sold over 111,000 tickets across India, with 90,526 tickets in Hindi, 20,591 in Telugu-speaking regions, and 200 in Tamil-speaking areas. The film has amassed an impressive advance booking collection of Rs 3.4 crore. The film is expected to deliver the biggest opening of Ranbir Kapoor’s career. Animal’s long run time of over three hours and ‘A’ rating have only built excitement for the film.
Meanwhile, Sam Bahadur has secured 12,876 advance bookings, amassing a collection of Rs 44.71 lakh prior to its release.
Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for films such as Arjun Reddy and its Hindi adaptation Kabir Singh, Animal centres on Ranbir Kapoor’s character, the scion of a business family who goes on a vengeful quest following an attack on his father. The film’s trailer was released earlier this week.
Sam Bahadur, on the other hand, explores the life of Sam Manekshaw, and his journey as the first Indian Army officer promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. Manekshaw’s pivotal role in India’s victory in the 1971 war, leading to the formation of Bangladesh, forms the crux of the film’s narrative. The film is directed by Meghna Gulzar, and has sold just over 12,000 tickets so far, for a total of Rs 44 lakh.
