The Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal was released yesterday. The film was carrying a solid buzz which has helped the film to register bug numbers at the Box Office. The advance booking of the film opened on 26th November and the film registered a record number of advance ticket sales for an ‘A’ rated film.
Animal has collected 54.75 cr nett from Hindi language on its opening day at the Box Office. Animal has emerged as record opener for Ranbir Kapoor by beating his previous best Sanju (34.75 cr) by a huge margin.
Have a look below at the top 5 highest openers for Ranbir Kapoor:
1] Animal (2023) – 54.75 cr
2] Sanju (2018) – 34.75 cr
3] Brahmastra (2022) – 32 cr
4] Besharam (2013) – 21.56 cr
5] Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) – 19.45 cr
Ranbir Kapoor has always been a non-holiday king. His film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was the highest non-holiday opener of all time and it went on to become the highest grossing film on non-holiday. With Sanju, Ranbir Kapoor created history by having a record opening on non-holiday and becoming the only actor to have a 300 cr film on non-holiday.
Animal is an ‘A’ rated film based on a gangster theme which has excessive crime and violence in it, despite all the odds the film has opened to more than 50 cr. The scope for gangster crime drama in Bollywood is very limited and no film in this genre has collected much at the Box Office. Animal has set an example for all the gangster and crime films in Bollywood.
Animal also faced a clash with Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur at the Box Office. Animal also has a runtime of more than 200 minutes and it’s a fresh film. By looking at all the scenarios, what Animal has achieved is truly remarkable.
Animal has also emerged as the third highest grossing Bollywood film of all time.
Have a look below at the top 5 highest Bollywood openers of all time:
1] Jawan (2023) – 65.50 cr
2] Pathaan (2023) – 55 cr
3] Animal (2023) – 54.75 cr
4] War (2019) – 51.60 cr
5] Thugs Of Hindostan (2018) – 50.75 cr
Animal collected 63.80 cr nett from all languages on its opening day at the Box Office. Jawan collected 75 cr from all languages on its opening day and Animal is second in this list.
Animal has a great possibility of emerging as the highest grossing film of Ranbir Kapoor. The film is eyeing 150 cr+ opening weekend at the Box Office.
