“Escapist entertainment” - You’ve coined it correctly. Unfortunately, our so called Indian critics don’t understand this. They are worried that it might cause an impact to the society 🤣🤣. Yet they don’t criticise other movies that are likely to cause issues (as per their logic) .

[@gurudeepranjan]

This is exactly what i thought about this movie, lots of Americans are getting this movie, I'm not sure why a lot of Indians here have gotten butt hurt over it so much, especially some of those pseudo feminists, thanks for the great review btw.

[@shubhounofficial5125]

You have to understand the difference between the audience too... Noone worship movies stars like indians.. we have a vast majority of immature audience who will try to mimic the actions in their real life. And we have the biggest pool of teen/young adult viewers in India.. the movie is like andrew tate packed in a single box... I loooooovvvvveeed the movie... I am going to watch it again on big screen.. reminds me of kill Bill ❤️... But i know the difference between real and reel.. which my people may or may not understand....

[@gurudeepranjan]

@shubhounofficial5125 I understand there are vast majority of immature audience, but don't you think they'll get influenced by anything, they can get influenced by news channels for crying out loud, its just because movies and actors are soft targets and are easy to pick on. It's based on a flawed toxic character, and people should accept that and see it as a medium of entertainment and move on as simple as that.

[@shubhounofficial5125]

I saw a interview of someone (probably the brother in law actor) which stuck in my mind "how many people are joining the army watching army related movies? Probably none.. then why do you think people are going to be violent just because this movie?".. i hope so but i have very little faith in our youth😅@@gurudeepranjan

[@deepalall647]

I am glad Indian cenima is getting more international audiences. Our cinema has been very mellow compared to other Hollywood/European/Korean action films in terms of violence. We in India focused primarily on family dramas(Animal also has family drama), romcoms, thrillers but our movies are made for family audiences mostly, very rarely the producers or directors dare to make movies out of norm or with an adult theme. They are scared they won't find their audiences because our culture is very family oriented and usually people want to take their families out for the movies on the weekend and films with adult certification(A) usually gets ignored. Sandeep Reddy Vanga has been breaking the norms and offending a lot of people in the process 😂 If I am not wrong this is his 3rd film. He definitely doesn't make cinema to please the critics. Some of the woke critics in India call his films the exhibition of toxic masculinity and misogyny. His films are extremely controversial. His last film Kabir Singh had also generated a lot of hate from the woke critics and audiences. So, in one of the interviews with the woke critic who was subtly criticizing his film for promoting violence, he replied to her, " I'll show them what's a violent film". And he definitely delivered it with Animal 😂 People often say that he adds violence and misogyny in his films for shock value to create controversy and generate more public interest. Whatever he is doing seems to be working as all his 3 films including Animal is a huge box office success. Also, to answer your question if the two Kapoors in this film are related, well no. Although both actors come from two different prestigious Kapoor film families who have been involved in film making and acting from past many decades. Ranbir Kapoor is a big name in Indian cinema because he always takes up challenging roles. I am glad some directors from India don't care about wokism. It will ruin our cinema.I used to enjoy Hollywood films especially the action films from the 70's, 80's and 90's. But Hollywood has ruined itself with all the wokism and forced representation culture. The overuse of CGI also takes away all the fun. I hope Hollywood returns back to it's past glory. I hope you will enjoy the sequel of Animal as much as you enjoyed this film!

Arjan Velly is not just a song It's a real war cry in our history

[@AyaanKhan-tb2ot]

One of the best bgm I heard this year ; It’s a pendulum of crazy emotions

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

In terms of pure, raw emotion, this movie packs a serious punch. What an experience.

[@AyaanKhan-tb2ot]

@@geekinwithJamesHancock I'm so glad you felt the rawness and conviction of the movie. It is also so cinematic for a commercial Bollywood movie - The entry of the villian is so iconic- In 2 minutes we get to know how brutal he is and how he's like the protagonist . When ranvijay kills his sister's husband he pats him on the shoulder first and then chokes him ( The music gave me goosebumps )which is significant as the same tap happened to him when he was refused to meet his dad by the mole. When the body double is killed & he finds out about the mole he goes and hugs his sister as the murder has already taken place in this head.

[@cokedupnormies2651]

1:53 that song is a real Punjabi folk song "Arjan Vailly" or "Arjan the Troublemaker/Brave (the word means brave but in a "troublemaker " sort of way. Ballsy probably is the best word). Its about Arjan Singh Nalwa, son of Hari Singh Nalwa. Hari Singh Nalwa was known for fighting the Mughals and expanding the Sanatani Empire via the Sikhi Panth (Path of the Student school of Hinduism; in layman terms) till Afghanistan (probably returning Sanatan Dharm to that region after a thousand years). His son Arjan mowed down a bunch of British officials for some taxation policies, as after Hari Singh Nalwa the Sikhi people came under the British. Henceforth the song became a clarinet call to cheer up soldiers in a war. Even the axe fighting scene is from Gatak, a Punjabi martial art (modernized for the sequence, its a fusion of sorts). The ending fight scene is also a form of music played at Punjabi funerals, including Muslims/Pakistani Punjabi funerals. "Saari Duniya Jala Denge" (we will burn the whole world for you) is about the fathers of both Abrar and Ranvijay, some lines say "Papa" (Ranvijay perspective) some say "Abbu" (Abrar perspective)) Even the introduction of Abrar's scene is to a Persian school song, and his suit and necklace have Turkish motifs (both cultures had a huge role in colonizing Hindus and converting our people by force to Islam - similar to what Killers of the Flower Moon depicted tbh). It's a very culturally rooted movie and imo thats the best part about it. I am really hyped for the second movie; and possibly Aziz/Abrar/etc will be the protagonists of that movie, it will show their life from abject poverty to rising up the ranks of the Ummah to reach a point of taking revenge from Balbir's family (probably add some religiously driven hatred for the "kafir" company too - the Swatik logo will play into it perfectly). Oh yeah - "Swastikã" is a Sanskrit word, the word becomes "Swastik" in Hindi. It's a Sanskrit word that the Germans never uses. The Germans called their cross the "Hakkenkreuz" themselves - the Hooked Cross. It was the Anglosphere that slapped the Sanskrit word "Swastika", stolen from the land they had colonized for 200 years, to undermine and slander us for generations to come. If the Germans never called it "Swastika" why did the English have to? (Germans borrowed the design but not the name). Hope this sheds even more light on the movie!

[@kanchmenon]

I knew that there was some cultural significance and connection between the music and the action scenes. In fact, for those who are subtitle-dependent and appreciate the art of good cinema, it seemed like a very interesting way to narrate the context of those scenes.

Unfortunately, this movie is the literal bleeding edge of violence and sex in Indian cinema, so you may have a hard time finding other Indian films that deliver a similar high. The whole nation is in shock right now over how many conventions and taboos this movie has pulverized. Still I see some recommendations in the comments that are worth watching even if they are nowhere as insane as Animal. My suggestions would be Raktha Charitra Part 1 and 2, and Vangaveeti, all 3 films by another pathbreaking director, Ram Gopal Varma. All of them are based on real-life political/criminal figures and events from the lawless interiors of the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, the same region that Sandeep Reddy Vanga comes from.

Ya the climax scene cracked me up. If you seen old hindi movies there is some times this overly cringe dramatic scene where 2 brothers separated from birth finally meets up. Animal climax music and set was intentionally made like that, and instead of dramatic hugging and kissing, they fight brutally to death. Who ever made this filim is really creative. That's what you call the subversion of expectation done in the right way.

there aren't many indian films that reach the standards set by animal, it is one of my fav films of the year as well, but if you want to explore the indian cinema and as a person who has only seen rrr and animal , then here are my top 5 recommendations for you;; 1. 3 idiots;; one of the best modern day indian films , genre: comedy, drama, coming of age, romance. 2. kabir singh;; directed by sandeep reddy vanga, the same director of animal but its a love story, genre: romance, drama. 3.once upon a time in mumbai;; a cult classic gangster movie, genre: crime, thriller, drama. 4.vikram;; starring legendary indian actor kamal hasan, genre: crime, thriller, action. 5.sanju;; the second best work of ranveer kapoor after animal, genre: melodrama, comedy, real life based.

[@dibyayan388]

You, like many western audiences are understandebly frustrated with Hollywood's output nowadays. I understand original hollywood movies are struggling to make money nowadays. Infact, Animal was the highest grossing film worldwide since its release up until Godzilla hit the theatres. However, I can assure you the movie theatres are very much alive here in India and after a recent slump, movies this year are making more money than they have ever made. If you want to get into Indian movies, I have a few recommendations. Of the recent releases which are also action based and larger than life, you may wanna checkout Jailer and Leo which were released earlier this year. From past releases, here's a few recommendations which should cover a wide variety of genres: 3 Idiots Padmaavat Super Deluxe Andhadhun Taare Zameen Par Tumbbad Zindagi na milegi dobara The Lunchbox Delhi Belly Baahubali Gangs of Wasseypur Black Friday Swades Kaithi Kantara

B. The villain is acted by bobby deol.. he used to act in cheesy movies in 90s.. very bad in acting and choosing script.. and he just got his fame in his early 50s.. just fee years back.. thats a massive comeback... He is called "lord bobby" in fun way here.. C. The movie is controversial here in India but the title is literally "animal".. it's story about humanity bent down to animal level for vengeance and thirst of blood.. there is this sequel coming "animal park" which i guess will be more bloody and will be related to more se#ual violence..

[@mindawakening3873]

Awesome and perfectly spot on review! Thank you

[@Lazymath007_]

Please watch Kabir Singh, same director!

[@arl5780]

AWESOME REVIEW

[@tusharsatote5622]

Here's the list 1) kabir singh 2) Tummbad 3) black friday 4) gulaal 5) mulshi pattern 6) article 15 7) The kashmir files

[@vbtv2513]

Mulshi pattern very underrated needs to recommend more

[@abirvaabchatterjee6439]

You nailed those pronunciations!

[@teresaluz975]

Love Indian cinema, be it South or North. But I have a soft spot for Telugu and Kannada film industry. Violence and action, the music, the acting, Indian cinema is top tier.

[@Alakshendra]

Same genre recommendation: Gangs of Wasseypur I and II. Based on real life characters.

[@Jay828__]

Keep pushing back against the new puritans! Thanks for the review. Kinda bummed, I keep trying, but simply cannot get into Indian action cinema. That Gatling gun looks like it belongs in a Scarface/Fallout crossover parody

[@contrarian322]

It kind of plays like that too . And probably intentional .

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

I am totally bewildered by the new Puritans. Each generation seems to give us a fresh variation on these buzzkills and wet blankets.

[@Jay828__]

@@geekinwithJamesHancock there's some answers about Church Ladies '23, but there's no way I'm explaining it in the comments section

[@RockSolidRock]

Watch all Anurag Kashyap movie. Especially Ugly. DevD. RRR and bahubali, Three idiots. Gehrayee- 1980. All Manoj Bajpayee movies(The greatest Actor of all time and time to come.)

[@chakrakeerthireddy8371]

🫡🫡🫡 finally, sensible review. Do watch Arjun Reddy from the same director

[@nickhtk6285]

Looking forward to this. Big fan of Clean Slate Filmz creations and akways looking to add to my list of film makers to follow.

[@squidwardop1367]

then Watch "VIKRAM hitlist" movie too, you'll enjoy it as much as you Enjoyed ANIMAL PS - watch Kiathi before watching VIKRAM as there's a linkage between them and this Movie exists in LCU (Loki Cinematic Universe)

[@jai4096]

I heard the movie on Netflix will be uncut and longer so the end may be justified as the director was saying in an interview he had to cutshort bcoz of time restrictions. He also said there will be part 2 of the movie so..

[@Tara-Yah]
