Plot

Ranvijay “Vijay” Singh is the son of Balbir Singh, a Delhi-based business magnate who heads the generational steel company called “Swastik Steels”. He has adored his father since childhood, but Balbir neglects him due to his busy schedule. After an incident where Vijay ambushes his sister’s bullies with an AK-47, Balbir sends him away to a boarding school in America. Vijay returns after completing his education and convinces his former schoolmate Geetanjali, whom he has always loved, to break off her engagement and choose him.

During Balbir’s 60th birthday, Vijay argues with his sister’s husband Varun and is kicked out of the house. He breaks off contact with his family, marries Geetanjali, and moves to America, where the couple have two children. Eight years later, he learns that his father was shot by unidentified assailants, prompting him to return to India to find the person responsible. He rounds up his cousins from his native village in Punjab to help in his mission and sets up a doppelgänger named Kailash for Balbir. Kailash is killed by Asrar Haque’s team as they mistake him to be Balbir.

Vijay discovers that Varun was involved in the assassination attempt and kills him during a meeting. He then goes to a hotel to meet an arms dealer, but Asrar’s team arrives in droves to kill him. After a lengthy battle, he defeats them, but sustains brutal injuries and goes into a coma. Upon waking two weeks later and undergoing a heart transplant, Vijay learns that his heart donor was the fiancée of a woman named Zoya. Vijay begins an affair with Zoya, who soon falls for him. Zoya reveals that she was actually sent by Asrar’s brother Abrar Haque.

Abrar had sent her to honey trap Vijay in order to kidnap and replace him with a doppelgänger who would massacre his family. Vijay reveals that he knew this all along and simply wanted to discover the identity of the actual perpetrator. He learns from his grandfather Rajdheer that Abrar and his brothers are part of Vijay’s family; they are the grandsons of Rajdheer’s younger brother Shamsher Singh, making Vijay their cousin. Abrar planned the attempt on Balbir’s life to avenge his own father Azim Haque, who was denied a share of their property.

This led to Shamsher committing suicide in front of Abrar, which traumatized him and rendered him mute. Vijay and his cousins barge into Abrar’s house in Scotland to kill him, but learn that Abrar has escaped with his brother Abid in their private jet. They stop the flight and Vijay and Abrar engage in a brutal fight that ends with Vijay killing Abrar. During the family Diwali celebration, Balbir reveals that he has terminal cancer and has realized his failures as a father. Balbir finally reconciles with Vijay, who rejoices in attaining his love after many years.

In the mid-credits scene, Aziz, revealed to be another one of Abrar’s brothers, has successfully undergone plastic surgery to become Vijay’s doppelgänger and Zoya is now pregnant, though unsure if the baby is Aziz’s or Vijay’s. Aziz kills two of Vijay’s cousins and sets out with Abid to exact vengeance on Vijay for his brothers’ deaths.

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 28% of 25 critics’ reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.2/10.[50]

Awarding the film 4.5/5 stars, Bollywood Hungama praised “Ranbir Kapoor’s outstanding performance, clap-worthy massy scenes, and interval block.”[10] Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave 4/5 stars and wrote “Animal is relentless as a euphoric medley of feral rage and dance of the dysfunctional. The twists go on well until end credits as more blood is splattered our way.”[11] Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote “Animal is an adrenaline experience which will have polarising views but you can’t deny its entertaining quotient, breathtaking performances and storytelling.”[12] Puja Awasthi of The Week gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote “Animal for all its blood and gore, is the story of a son’s aching desire for his father’s approval. Why even its ballads are less romance, more revenge. And its female characters for all their luminosity, are just props”.[13]

Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times found it “an absolute massy, entertaining and extremely violent thriller which doesn’t believe in conforming to the norms”, while adding that the extreme violence might be off-putting for some.[51] Titas Chowdhury of News18 gave 3.5/5 stars, labelled it “dark, loud and garish but also unapologetic”, and thought that Ranbir Kapoor “breathes life into this undesirable character with a lot of charisma and swag”.[52] Abhimanyu Mathur of DNA India rated the film 3.5/5 and opined, “Animal takes everything that was problematic and increases it several notches. It is downright the most violent Hindi film I have seen, and also one of the most inherently toxic and misogynist. The amazing part is that it is still very well made and entertaining, enhanced further by yet another great performance from Kapoor”.[53]

Conversely, Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and termed the film “all swag and no substance derailed family drama”; she was critical of “Vanga’s take on women or violence” but praised Ranbir’s “raw sex appeal and unmatched intensity”.[54] India Today’s Anvita Singh gave 2/5 stars and wrote “Ranbir Kapoor is stellar in problematic, paper-thin film.”[55] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote “Ranbir is on fire, inhabiting to a frightening degree Vijay’s delusional personal war. Reptile-eyed even at his smouldering best, Kapoor’s career-best performance makes Animal tough to stomach, but equally difficult to ignore”.[56]

In a negative review, Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express expressed disappointment that the performances of Ranbir and Anil Kapoor had been “wasted in this pointless, vile tale”.[57] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote “The sickeningly violent father-son action drama rarely pauses for breath.”[58] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote “Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s movie has the kind of writing you’ll find in BDSM erotica like Fifty Shades of Grey, but presented with the same earnestness of ‘pure love’ that we saw in Arjun Reddy.”[59] Phuong Le of The Guardian gave 1/5 stars and wrote “Animal sinks even further into regressive depths, resulting in one of the vilest protagonists to have graced the big screen.”

Sequel

The film’s post credits scene teases a sequel titled Animal Park.[61] Shortly after the film’s release, Vanga said the sequel would be “darker” and “meant” than its predecessor.[62]
