Ranbir Kapoor Animal collection: After a month of creating havoc at the box office and surpassing every trade expectation, Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal is finally resting. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga action thriller, before it closes its final run, has broken one more record– beating the all-India collections of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan.
Animal movie box office collection have been stupendous since it started its run in December. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Animal netted Rs 51 lakhs on its fifth Tuesday, slipping away from its collections in crores for the first time since its December 1 opening. After a 33-day run, Animal has netted Rs 546 cr in its all-India version, beating the numbers set by Pathaan. The Siddharth Anand directorial, co-starring Deepika Padukone, had clocked Rs 543 cr including Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

With this, Animal is now the second highest Bollywood grosser of the year after Jawan, which stands at Rs 643 cr. In terms of worldwide collections, Animal has settled for the third spot with collections over Rs 890 cr. The film will aim to close its final run around Rs 900 cr. The top two spots are booked by Jawan (Rs 1,148 cr) and Pathaan (Rs 1050 cr).
In terms of purely Hindi-language collections, Animal will be at the fourth spot as it has so far netted Rs 496 cr. It will likely touch the Rs 500 cr club in Hindi and be behind Pathaan (Rs 524 cr), Gadar 2 (Rs 525 cr) and Jawan (Rs 582 cr).
The collections of Animal came despite clashing at the box office with Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur, getting an A certificate–thus limiting its audience–and with a runtime of nearly three and half hours, which reduced its showcasing. The film also faced heavy competition in the last week of December, as two big Christmas releases took over the screens– Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas starrer Salaar.
Animal opened to polarising reviews, with many calling the Sandeep Reddy Vanaga film misogynistic, violent and vulgar. That, however, didn’t stop the audience from watching it and also making it one of the most discussed films of recent times.
