Animal 2023 Movie Trailer Reaction: An Intense and Gritty Performance

• Ranbir’s gritty and intense performance in the trailer has generated much buzz and left fans eagerly waiting for the film’s release on December 1, 2023.
• He portrays the role of Anil Kapoor’s son in the film, who seems to be seeking revenge for his father’s death.
• The trailer shows Ranbir playing a character with anger management issues who does not shy away from violence. His extreme behaviour and use of guns and other weapons hint that the film will have several high-octane action sequences.

Animal Movie Ranbir Kapoor Trailer: A Stark Departure from his Signature Charm

What grabs attention in the trailer is Ranbir’s fierce and rugged avatar which is a stark departure from his usual charming on-screen persona. His raw emotions, menacing eyes and action sequences confirm that this will be one of his most challenging roles.

Ranbir seems to have put himself fully into playing this dark and gritty character.

Animal Movie Cast

The supporting cast which includes Anil Kapoor along with Bobby Deol and Rashmika Mandanna promises powerful performances as well.

• Bobby in particular shines in the action scenes.
• Rashmika likely plays Ranbir’s love interest in her Bollywood debut.
• The trailer also shows glimpses of Tripti Dimri who shot to fame with Bulbbul.

While the trailer focuses more on Ranbir, Anil Kapoor’s character seems pivotal to the film’s plot. He seems to play Ranbir’s father who gets killed, triggering Ranbir’s descent into violence and his revenge plan.

Animal Movie Director: Signature Style of Sandeep Reddy Vanga

The film reunites director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and producer Bhushan Kumar after their blockbuster hit Kabir Singh. Sandeep Reddy Vanga is known for exploring dark topics and flawed characters, so Animal promises to be an intense story depicted in his trademark style.

In fact, Ranbir’s character has uncanny similarities to Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh – full of anger, aggression and masculinity. So it will be interesting to see Ranbir deliver a performance at par with Shahid’s award-winning act in Kabir Singh.

Animal Trailer Ranbir Kapoor in a Career-Defining Role

Animal seems to be positioned as one of Ranbir’s career-defining films. The trailer itself declares that it will showcase Ranbir Kapoor as never seen before. His raw and rugged look combined with intense emoting reminds one of legends like Robert De Niro and Kamal Haasan.

Animal Movie Controversy: Concerns Around Toxic Masculinity

While fans are excited about Ranbir’s performance, the film’s depiction of violence and toxic masculinity has also raised some concerns just like Kabir Singh. The film’s portrayal of women and Ranbir’s character graph will be crucial and closely scrutinized once the film is released.

Conclusion: High Expectations and Competition

Nevertheless, Ranbir’s tour de force performance along with power-packed action surely makes Animal one of the most awaited films this year. The film will release in theatres on 1st December 2023 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. It faces competition from Ayushmann Khurrana’s An Action Hero releasing on the same day. But Animal’s trailer has definitely created more buzz and expectations.

Only time will tell whether Sandeep Reddy Vanga can deliver another Kabir Singh-level blockbuster with Animal and Ranbir.
