'Animal' team takes a dig at Swanand Kirkire for criticising the film, fans say 'Go to a therapist Sandeep Reddy Vanga'

Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal that is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, is going strong at the box-office and there are chances it may inaugurate the 600-crore club. However, it has had its share of critics that opened up about the portrayal of the central character and his means and methods to get things done his way. It also invited criticism for the depiction of women, and one of the people to speak up was writer and actor Swanand Kirkire. He had tweeted- “After watching the movie Animal, I really felt pity for the women of today’s generation. Now, a new man has been prepared for you, who is more scary, who does not respect you that much and who aims to subdue you, suppress you and feels proud of himself. When you, the girls of today’s generation, were sitting in that cinema hall and applauding Rashmika, I in my mind paid tribute to every idea of ​​equality. I have come home desperate, dejected and weak!” It seems his opinion didn’t go down well with the makers and they took a dig at Kirkire by sharing a note that read- “Do not let your knees fall ahead of your toes or cave in towards each other. Keep feet shoulder-width apart to maintain a good base of support for balance. Land softly on the balls of the feet to help absorb the force of the landing. Yes…. now it landed perfectly.”

Users react Here are some of the reactions: One user wrote- “If Vanga would have made the film to please others, then 2nd day itself it would have closed !!” Another one said- “Vanga forgot to switch the account..” A third user said- “Go to a therapist ASAP Vanga!” And another wrote- “For ppl asking: This is a metaphorical & witty way of suggesting that the critic’s review was off-balance/harsh, contrasting it with the film’s successful reception by d audience. It’s a creative way of defending the film without directly attacking the critic. I bet it’s Vanga.”
