Animal: After Allu Arjun, Honey Singh reviews Ranbir Kapoor starrer, calls Sandeep Reddy Vanga ‘Indian Tarantino'

Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal has turned out to be an ‘all-time blockbuster’ at the box office. Despite garnering polarising views, the film has collected over Rs 500 crore and is still going strong at the ticket windows. While Allu Arjun called it a ‘masterpiece’ and Karan Johar termed it the ‘best film of 2023’, singer-composer Yo Yo Honey Singh joined the bandwagon and heaped praise on Animal. He lauded Ranbir Kapoor for his impeccable performance and called director Sandeep Reddy Vanga ‘Indian Tarantino’. Sharing a still from the movie while watching it in the theatre featuring Bobby Deol, Honey Singh wrote, “Now got the chance to watch this amazing movie ANIMAL i must say @sandeepreddy.vanga is indian TARANTINO ! Big up to the revolution in indian cinema fuck the haters ! Wat a screenplay n performances big up RANBIR KAPOOR #animalmovie”

While Animal has emerged as one of the highest Bollywood grossers in the history of Indian cinema, it has garnered criticism for showing toxic masculinity in the movie. Talking about reviews, Firstpost gave Animal 3.5 stars and wrote, “The runtime of Animal is over 3 hours and 20 minutes and I can assure you there won’t be any moment where you feel the movie is boring. Throughout the film something is happening which will keep you hooked to the screens and the credit goes to Vanga’s superb editing skills and storytelling. Talking about the performances, Ranbir Kapoor lives in and out to deliver one of his career-defining roles. Honestly, I wouldn’t have ever imagined that after being Bunny and Mickey from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, RK would go so dark, gore and violent and do this crazy stuff with Animal and that too like a boss.” The film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Prem Chopra, Triptii Dimri, Suresh Oberoi among others.
