The first day at the box office for "Animal" is coming to a close, marking a significant day for Bollywood overall.
Regardless of the film's final verdict, it's certain that many will engage in conversations about the points raised in the movie, and this is where director Sandeep Reddy Vanga seems to be succeeding.
With an adult certificate and a runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes, the film has both advantages and disadvantages.
As the day progresses, the day-one figures are becoming clearer, leaving many astonished at how such a feat is possible. However, it appears that, in the years to come, this Ranbir Kapoor starrer will be remembered more for its hype than for the quality of its content.
The film serves as a noteworthy case study on effective film promotion, emphasizing its strengths and creating a curiosity that no moviegoer can ignore. The success of the "Animal" trailer is evident in the day-one box office figures.
Surpassing even Shah Rukh Khan's "Pathaan," which collected 57 crores on day one (All India Nett), was something unimaginable. "Animal" not only challenged but also surpassed this record, an achievement that even Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" couldn't accomplish.
Predicted to earn between 59-61 crores on day one (All languages India Nett), "Animal" is set to break Shah Rukh Khan's box office day one record.
Even on Diwali, Salman Khan's "Tiger 3" earned 44.50 crores on its day one, falling short of this benchmark.
