Will ‘Animal’ Live Up to the Hype and Become a Blockbuster in 2023?
The Indian film industry has seen a plethora of hits and blockbusters in recent years, from Brahmastra: Part 1: Shiva to Tiger 3. With the trailer of Animal, set for release on December 12, 2023, many are speculating whether this film will surpass the box office collections of previous blockbusters like Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Gadar 2, and Tiger 3.
Trailer and Cast Appeal
The trailer of Animal has created a lot of buzz, primarily due to the intense and thrilling scenes showcased. Even before the official release, the papa papa dialogue and the bloodcredible glimpse of Bobby have grabbed the attention of many Bollywood enthusiasts. Added to this, the bold avatar of Ranbir Kapoor is certainly a draw for fans.
The involvement of Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor adds to the star power of the film. This is indeed a collaboration that could potentially bring in significant audience numbers.
Making Team and Budget
Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director, is no stranger to making films that draw audiences. With a budget of 100 crores, the makers are aiming for a blockbuster hit. Sandra associated films like Adh_guided>DM: Shiva have performed exceptionally well, grossing over 430 crores. Now, fans and industry experts are eagerly waiting to see if Animal can surpass Brahmastra in terms of box office collections.
Potential for Success
With the current buzz surrounding the film, there is a high chance that Animal might become a blockbuster film. The combination of a star-studded cast, a powerful director, and an intriguing storyline could very well mean that the film hits the top 100 crores mark. However, it is pertinent to remember that Indian box office numbers can be unpredictable.
Comparison with Previous Blockbusters
Tiger 3, grossing 320.4 crores, has historically been a strong contender, including the original Tiger Zinda Hain which grossed 317 crores. For Animal to become a hit, it would need to exceed 335 crores. While this is certainly within reach, it would still need to compete with other giants like Jawan and Pathaan.
Risk and Reward
Ranbir Kapoor, who has been in a phase of varied success, may hope to bring in another blockbuster with Animal. His last sure-shot hits were films like Adh_guided>DM: Shiva and Sanju, almost 5–6 years ago. Concerns remain, however, as Animal has parallels with similar films like Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, which, while successful, were not box office sensations. The film's ability to relate to the current audience's preferences is a crucial factor in its success.
Only time will tell whether Animal will take its place among the stars of 2023, but one thing is certain: the trailer has left many excited and eager to see the film itself.
Conclusion
As the release date approaches, we're all keeping fingers crossed for Animal. It's not just a movie; it's a gamble. With its potential to gross big and Ranbir Kapoor's acting prowess, Animal could very well become another landmark in the Indian film industry. Regardless, it’s certain to be an event for the fans of the star and the movie itself.
