Animal beats Sanju at Box Office: Animal has done the unthinkable Ranbir Kapoor. The film has now dethroned Sanju as the highest-grossing film for the actor. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial, which has been widely criticized for being misogynist, has crossed the benchmark of Rs 350 crore nett at the domestic Box Office. Most films don’t reach this number, even during their worldwide gross.
After his eight-day run in India, Animal has collected between Rs 353 and 355 crore nett, which is both fantastic and valuable simply because it has come this far despite all the negative social media chatter surrounding it. The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna and Tripti Dimri in major roles. All the actors in the film seem to have found a newfound popularity Animal and that seems to be translating into numbers at the Box Office. According to early estimates from our sources, Animal has raised between Rs 15 and 17 crore nett on Friday, taking its eight-day total to around Rs 355 crore nett. The actual figures will be updated on Saturday morning.
