Ranbir Kapoor’s movie “Animal” has done exceptionally well at the box office, both in India and internationally. It’s estimated to have made around Rs 115 crore globally on its opening day. This makes it the movie with the biggest opening for an A-rated film so far. Despite being a lengthy film with a runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes, it has become the second-biggest opener ever, following Shah Rukh Khan’s “Jawan,” which made Rs 126 crore on its first day. “Animal” had a strong start not only in India but also in international markets, securing the top spot on the worldwide opening chart.
Ranbir Kapoor’s film, which is a gangster drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has exceeded expectations and is gaining immense popularity among moviegoers. The movie’s success is partly attributed to the Telugu-speaking audience who were drawn to it because of the director’s reputation. “Animal” has made an estimated Rs 75 crore in India and around USD 4.9 to 5 million (Rs 39 crore) in international markets, including USD 1.2 million (Rs 10 crore) from premiere shows.
This impressive performance has set a new record for the biggest opening ever for an A-rated film in the history of Indian cinema. Ranbir Kapoor joins Shah Rukh Khan as the only actors to achieve a global opening of Rs 100 crore, and notably, this has happened without the advantage of a holiday release. “Animal” is the third Hindi film, following “Pathaan” and “Jawan,” to cross the Rs 100 crore mark on its opening day.
Ranbir Kapoor’s success with “Animal” has elevated his status in the film industry, putting him in competition with the true superstars of Indian cinema. The expectations for future event films are now higher, and the positive early reviews from the audience bode well for the movie’s continued success. The film’s opening day box office estimates are as follows: Hindi Gross: Rs 62 crore, TnT Gross: Rs 13 crore, Overseas Gross: Rs 40 crore, making a total of Rs 115 crore.
