‘Animal’ Roars vs Sam Bahadur: Ranbir Kapoor’s Film Surpasses ₹200 Crores First Weekend

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s directorial venture ‘Animal,’ starring Ranbir Kapoor, has completed its release, and the first weekend has concluded with remarkable earnings. In the three days following its release, the movie witnessed impressive box office collections, maintaining a consistent surge in its daily earnings.

The film, which experienced a phenomenal opening, continued its stellar performance on Sunday, contributing significantly to its overall box office success. According to early reports, ‘Animal’ has surpassed the 200 crore mark in its first weekend, making it a standout success in the Indian film industry. The movie’s collections have not only been substantial but have also shattered several records, outpacing previous releases like ‘Jawaan’ by a considerable margin.

Simultaneously, Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Sam Bahadur’ has also garnered substantial box office numbers. Over the weekend, the film accumulated a commendable collection, with a total earning of 25.55 crores by the end of its first weekend. Despite tough competition, both ‘Animal’ and ‘Sam Bahadur’ have showcased their box office prowess, proving that Bollywood films in 2023 are enjoying commercial success.

This achievement comes as a positive sign for the Indian film industry, especially considering the prolonged period of drought due to the pandemic. The success of movies like ‘Animal’ and the anticipation surrounding upcoming releases like Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan,’ Sunny Deol’s ‘Gadar 2,’ and Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger 3’ indicate a promising end to the year for Bollywood.

As the box office continues to witness a resurgence, ‘Animal’ has undoubtedly made a significant impact, not only in terms of earnings but also in revitalizing the cinematic experience for audiences. With its budget estimated around 55 crores, the film has proven to be a lucrative venture for Ranbir Kapoor and the entire team involved. Released on December 1, 2023, ‘Animal’ has successfully asserted its dominance in the box office race, adding another blockbuster to the Bollywood lineup as the year comes to a close.
