It crossed $10 million and is now in top 7 grossers of all time in North America for Indian films. Thank you for all your support! Many more milestones to come!!" 

The film opened to mixed reviews at the box office. While some appreciated Ranbir Kapoor's performance and the high adrenaline action sequences in the film, others called it problematic on many counts. 

"Ranbir Kapoor gives new definition to alpha male characters. He outperformed himself in both intense and action scenes," film critic and trade analyst Sumit Kadel said in his review of the film. 

"The other assault on any thinking person is the unparalleled misogyny. If you thought Kabir Singh was bad, oh boy, you are in for a rude surprise. Women in this world weep quietly, have no choice and no voice, no agency, are slapped and ridiculed and controlled by the gun-slinging, profanity-spewing, out of control gang of men," Business Today's review of the film read. 

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Animal focuses on a strained father-son relationship in the backdrop of crime and the underworld. The film features Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Triptii Dimri in significant roles. The film was released in theatres on December 1 alongside Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur.
