A kinetic sequence featuring a gigantic bazooka, and Ranbir Kapoor pumping hundreds of bullets into hundreds of bodies is the kind of gleeful comic-book action which is fun while it lasts. But then comes the endless second half in which everything is thrown at the kitchen sink in the hope something sticks. In the end, there\u2019s nothing to this pointless, vile tale: if I have to, I\u2019d rather watch real animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxVRGoFIebF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sukanya Verma (Rediff): \u201cFirst, Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s nakedness knows no bounds. He strips himself bare as an artist body and soul. Second, \u2018<em>Animal<\/em>\u2018\u2019s violence isn\u2019t for the fainthearted unless you have an appetite for Korean-style mayhem, like yours truly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ganesh Aaglave (Firstpost): \u201cArjun Reddy and Kabir Singh helmer Sandeep Reddy Vanga had said that he will teach Bollywood how to make a violent movie with \u2018<em>Animal<\/em>\u2018 and trust me what he said, he delivered that without an ounce of doubt.On the whole, \u2018<em>Animal<\/em>\u2018 is an adrenaline experience which will have polarising views but you can\u2019t deny its entertaining quotient, breathtaking performances and storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxhouBnIpsa\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Saibal Chatterjee (NDTV): A surfeit of everything \u2013 length, violence, love, obsession and toxicity \u2013 and shrill drama designed to trigger trauma \u2013 that is what \u2018<em>Animal<\/em>\u2018, written, directed and edited by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, peddles. The sickeningly violent father-son action drama rarely pauses for breath.<\/p>\n<p>Renuka Vyavahare (Times of India): Action, background score and music work well with the mood of the film. What works the most however is Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s raw sex appeal and unmatched intensity. He lends that dangerously unpredictable quality to this deranged character and aces it especially in that Vaastav like crucial climax scene. Sadly, the story does little for him though. Ranbir Kapoor can be Joaquin Phoenix but \u2018<em>Animal<\/em>\u2018\u2019s no Joker. This entire film could have just been a conversation between the father and his son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smrity Sharma (Bollywood Life): Watch \u2018<em>Animal<\/em>\u2018 for Ranbir Kapoor. He doesn\u2019t let you down in even one frame. If you are a hard-core action movie fan, \u2018<em>Animal<\/em>\u2018 has enough and more to keep you hooked to the screen. The story is engaging and though, long, the performances and the novelty in Ranbir and Bobby\u2019s characters make it worthwhile.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxpQUdqo6VJ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Umesh Punwani (Koimoi): \u201cThis is Sandeep Reddy Vanga going into the egomaniacal mode to make a movie that would take toxic masculinity to the other extreme end of Kabir Singh\/Arjun Reddy.
