For the unversed, Animal is considered to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2023. Despite facing criticisms from the audiences and critics for promoting a toxic masculinity mentality, ignorant dialogues, and justifying the actions of the main hero because of his ‘daddy issues’, the Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial became one of the most discussed topics on the internet. The movie also stars Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, and Triptii Dimri in pivotal roles.
