Netflix is launching the blockbuster film Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Triptii Dimri, on service for entertainment audiences around the world on 26 January 2024. In addition to Hindi, the film will also be available in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, exclusively on Netflix.

Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, this action drama explores the intricacies of modern-day relationships, focusing on the dynamics between a father and son. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Pranay Reddy Vanga.

Talking about the Netflix release of the film, Ranbir Kapoor shares, “We are absolutely overjoyed by the response ‘Animal‘ received in theaters and now I am glad that audiences worldwide will get a chance to watch it in the comfort of their homes. The opportunity to showcase our work globally is truly special!”.

Despite being one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal was criticised for its violence, length, and many other issues. Addressing the same in an interview with Connect FM Canada, the filmmaker lashed out at film reviewers and gave them an earful.

Vanga exploded, “You’re making money, fame, name, everything by criticising my film, then go ahead. That’s what happened with most of the critics during Kabir Singh. Their shot to fame was criticising ‘Kabir Singh’…Nobody speaks about the craft, the editing, sound design, because they are literally illiterate, uneducated when it comes to films. They have no sense of how to criticise the film or review the film.”

The filmmaker added, “In a way, I understood their mental status and their IQ…If morality comes into the picture, then you can’t make this film. “If everybody is going to focus just on the morality, we should stop making films. Let’s just make cartoons.”
