Kangana Ranaut's interview with Aamir Khan on dark cinema & harassment goes viral amid Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' success

Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal is a massive blockbuster that has exploded the box-office, and social media too, with scathing and polarising responses. Amid the chaos and controversy, Kangana Ranaut’s interview with Aamir Khan on ‘dark cinema & harassment’ has gone viral on the internet. The actress graced Khan’s show Satyamev Jayate where she was speaking about the portrayal of dark characters in cinema and how they need necessity consequences. She said, “I’m not saying there shouldn’t be dark cinema or that the reality shouldn’t be shown. But if it’s shown, showing its consequences is also important.”

She added, “Such boys start ragging others when they grow up. They not only harass girls but everyone. Even their parents. They are antisocial people who are problematic for everyone. They feel that such characters in movies justify their behaviour. They’ll wear the same shirt as the character and convince themselves that they are right because films are being made about them. They think the heroes are inspired by them.” While the film has crossed the business of films like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, OMG 2 and _Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar_ , it will surpass the business of The Kerala Story to become the fifth highest grosser of the year after Jawan, Gadar 2, Pathaan and Tiger 3. Talking about the review, Firstpost gave the film 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.”
