Animal at Victory Cinema Animal brings Ranbir Kapoor to the big screen in an intense action drama centred on a son whose devotion to his father gradually becomes anger, obsession and violence. Ranvijay Singh grows up craving the attention of Balbir Singh, a powerful industrialist whose business responsibilities repeatedly leave little time for his family. Years of emotional distance do not weaken Ranvijay’s loyalty. Instead, they transform his desire for paternal approval into an extreme determination to protect Balbir at any cost. When an attempt is made on his father’s life, Ranvijay returns to confront the people responsible and begins a campaign that places his marriage, family and humanity under pressure. Victory Cinema presents Animal in Hindi with English subtitles for adult audiences from across Bengaluru. Written, directed and edited by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Triptii Dimri, Shakti Kapoor, Suresh Oberoi, Prem Chopra and Saurabh Sachdeva. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Murad Khetani and Pranay Reddy Vanga under T-Series Films, Cine1 Studios and Bhadrakali Pictures, Animal arrives in cinemas on December 1, 2023. The Hindi theatrical presentation carries an “A” certificate and runs for approximately three hours and twenty-one minutes. Ranbir Kapoor as Ranvijay Singh Ranbir Kapoor plays Ranvijay Singh, a man shaped by an intense and unresolved attachment to his father. As a child, Ranvijay sees Balbir as the centre of his world, but Balbir’s absence leaves him constantly attempting to earn recognition. Ranvijay’s affection is never calm or moderate. He believes that protecting his father is both a personal responsibility and the purpose around which his entire life must be organised. That conviction gives him courage, but it also makes him possessive, unpredictable and increasingly dangerous. When Balbir is attacked, Ranvijay interprets the incident as a declaration of war against his family. He gathers loyal men, studies the threat and prepares to respond with force rather than waiting for conventional systems to deliver justice. The character allows Ranbir Kapoor to move through several stages of physical and emotional transformation. Ranvijay appears as a rebellious young man, a husband and father, a heavily armed protector and an individual whose obsession begins consuming the relationships he claims to defend. The official synopsis describes the story as the journey of a hardened son returning after years away and seeking revenge against those threatening his father’s life. Anil Kapoor as Balbir Singh Anil Kapoor plays Balbir Singh, a wealthy industrialist and the father whose approval Ranvijay has pursued since childhood. Balbir is disciplined, authoritative and deeply connected to the business empire he has built. He may care for his family, but his work and temperament make emotional communication difficult. The distance he creates becomes one of the central forces shaping his son. Ranvijay sees Balbir as someone who must be protected, respected and obeyed. Balbir, however, may not always understand the intensity of his son’s devotion or accept the violent methods used in his name. Their relationship gives Animal its emotional foundation. The action is driven by an assassination attempt, but the larger conflict concerns everything left unsaid between a father and son. Balbir’s refusal to provide the affection Ranvijay expects does not cause the son to withdraw. It makes him pursue that affection more aggressively, turning love into a force capable of damaging everyone around them. Rashmika Mandanna as Geetanjali Rashmika Mandanna plays Geetanjali, Ranvijay’s wife and one of the few people prepared to confront him directly. Geetanjali is attracted to Ranvijay’s confidence and the certainty with which he approaches life. Their relationship develops through bold choices, emotional declarations and a willingness to challenge family expectations. Marriage, however, reveals the cost of Ranvijay’s personality. His commitment to Balbir repeatedly takes priority over his responsibilities as a husband and father. As the revenge mission grows more violent, Geetanjali must decide how much danger, secrecy and emotional instability their family can endure. She is not simply watching the action from a distance. Ranvijay’s injuries, absences and decisions enter their home and reshape their marriage. Their relationship gives the film a second major emotional conflict. Ranvijay claims that everything he does is motivated by love for his family, while Geetanjali questions whether love can justify behaviour that repeatedly places the family at risk. Bobby Deol as a silent and formidable enemy Bobby Deol appears as a powerful adversary standing against Ranvijay and the Singh family. The official trailer introduced his character through physical presence, controlled expressions and explosive confrontation rather than lengthy dialogue. His arrival expands the conflict beyond a single assassination attempt. Ranvijay begins to understand that the attack upon Balbir is connected to a wider struggle involving family history, loyalty and revenge. The opponent possesses resources, devoted followers and a personal reason for targeting the Singh family. This makes him more dangerous than an ordinary criminal motivated only by money. The confrontation between Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol becomes one of the film’s principal theatrical attractions. Both characters are driven by family bonds, but those bonds place them on opposite sides of a conflict that can no longer be resolved peacefully. Their battles are presented through firearms, hand-to-hand combat and large physical confrontations designed for the intensity of the cinema screen. Triptii Dimri and the uncertainty surrounding Zoya Triptii Dimri plays Zoya, a mysterious woman who enters Ranvijay’s life while his campaign against his enemies continues. Her presence introduces another layer of uncertainty into the story. Ranvijay must determine whether she can be trusted, while Geetanjali’s relationship with him faces another serious challenge. Zoya’s connection to the larger conflict raises questions about loyalty, attraction and manipulation. In a world where enemies can approach through personal relationships, Ranvijay cannot easily separate emotional intimacy from strategic danger. The character also reveals how far Ranvijay is prepared to go while pursuing revenge and whether he continues to recognise the boundaries of his marriage. A father-son relationship carved through conflict Animal presents its action through the emotional history between Ranvijay and Balbir. The weapons, bodyguards and criminal alliances grow from a private need that began during childhood. Ranvijay does not merely want Balbir to survive. He wants his father to finally recognise the depth of his devotion. Every act of protection therefore carries an unspoken demand for approval. Balbir must confront the possibility that his emotional distance helped create the violent man standing before him. Ranvijay must confront whether his love protects his father or simply provides a justification for his anger. The film’s pre-release synopsis describes the story as one in which a father-son bond begins to fracture and extraordinary events transform the son through vengeance. Large-scale action and adult intensity Animal is designed as an adult action drama with sustained violence, firearms, physical combat, threatening language, marital conflict and disturbing emotional behaviour. The trailer presents masked attackers, armed convoys, close-range confrontations and a large machine-gun sequence involving Ranvijay and his men. The action reflects his escalating response: each threat produces a reaction larger and more destructive than the one before it. The “A” certificate means the film is restricted to viewers aged eighteen and above in India. Audiences should expect graphic violence, strong language, sexual material, bloodshed and psychologically intense family conflict. The approximately 201-minute runtime allows the story to move across Ranvijay’s childhood, marriage, separation from his father, return to the family and transformation into a violent protector. Written, directed and edited by Sandeep Reddy Vanga Sandeep Reddy Vanga writes, directs and edits Animal, following his work on Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh. The film continues his interest in emotionally extreme protagonists whose relationships, anger and personal convictions shape every part of their lives. Ranvijay is not presented as a conventional hero who remains morally unchanged while defeating external enemies. His personality is itself part of the conflict. The same devotion that makes him willing to protect his father also damages his marriage, isolates him from others and pushes him towards increasingly ruthless choices. The screenplay is credited to Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Pranay Reddy Vanga and Suresh Bandaru, with dialogue contributions associated with Saurabh Gupta and Siddharth Singh. Music that moves between romance and warfare Animal features a varied soundtrack created by several composers, with the background score composed by Harshavardhan Rameshwar. The album brings together romantic melodies, family emotion, Punjabi folk energy and music designed around Ranvijay’s violent transformation. Hua Main introduces Ranvijay and Geetanjali’s passionate relationship, while Satranga explores love, conflict and emotional separation. Papa Meri Jaan focuses upon the father-son bond at the centre of the story. Arjan Vailly accompanies Ranvijay’s warrior-like transformation through forceful Punjabi vocals and percussion. Saari Duniya Jalaa Denge adds emotional intensity to the larger conflict, while Pehle Bhi Main brings a softer romantic atmosphere. The official T-Series audio jukebox presents the principal songs as part of the film’s November 2023 pre-release campaign. The soundtrack’s contrasting styles reflect the different identities carried by Ranvijay: son, husband, father, lover and violent protector.
