Varma’s comments have ignited a heated debate on the role of film critics in the industry. While some agree with his stance, others believe that critics play a crucial role in guiding audiences and holding filmmakers accountable.

Regardless of the opinions, Animal’s success has sparked an important conversation about the relationship between critical reviews, box office performance, and the evolution of film criticism in Bollywood.

Animal Dominates the Box Office!

Animal, the action-packed film starring Ranbir Kapoor, has been roaring at the box office, earning a comfortable fourth place among the highest-grossing films of 2023. While Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (Rs 643.87 crores) and Pathaan (Rs 543.05 crores) maintain the top two spots, Animal surpasses Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 (Rs 525.45 crores) to secure the third position.

This remarkable achievement is not the only feather in Animal’s cap. The film has also become the highest-grossing film of Ranbir Kapoor’s career, surpassing the previous record held by Sanju, which collected Rs 342.53 crores in 2018. This is a testament to Animal’s captivating story, strong performances, and thrilling action sequences that have resonated with audiences.

With its impressive box office performance, Animal has cemented its position as one of the biggest movies of the year. This success further solidifies Ranbir Kapoor’s place as one of the leading actors in the Indian film industry.
