Sharmila Tagore explains why despite misogyny and violence in Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal, people engaged with it.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal faced a lot of criticism for its misogynistic tone and violence, however, still emerged to be a blockbuster. Now, Sharmila Tagore revealed that she is not a big fan of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, but acknowledges that the film had a lot of impact after its release.
In a conversation with Kapil Sibal on his YouTube show, channel Dil Se Kapil Sibal, Sharmila Tagore slammed the film for violence and misogyny and said, “There was a film called Animal recently… beyond violence, there was misogyny. But there were a lot of women in the audience who said, ‘I want somebody to love me like that.’ Any film that runs a lot, you cannot really rubbish it. You have to engage with it, try and understand it that what exactly is happening here.”
She further talked about how films like Laapataa Ladies took over the viewership of Animal and said, “Laapataa Ladies did well even theatrically as it was within the budget, whereas Animal spent a lot of money and made a huge amount of money also. There is that stark difference (in budgets) and it will continue. I don’t see it in the near future that it is going to change… So, the smaller films will also get their money back but not in the quantity that say a Ranbir Kapoor or a Ranveer Singh will bring.”
Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal starred Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol in key roles and broke several box office records by collecting over Rs 900 crore at the box office despite facing criticism. The makers have also announced the sequel to the film named Animal Park after its massive success. The songs from the film such as 'Satranga, Arjan Vailly, and Pehle Bhi Main became huge hits.
