Yup. The dialogue was included to rile female audience.

Actually Vanga guy is uneducated & illiterate to me. Its not mahine mein 4 baar, it's din mein chaar ,paanch baar..

I watched the late night show and came back a little traumatized. Idk how many of you stayed for the end credits scene where they introduced Vijay’s clone. But man!!! I was so close to throwing up after that scene 🤢 even though they were no saints but I felt bad for those brothers. I wish I had walked out at the scene in which Vijay hugs his son.

My friends and I thought tripti was much better than rashmika. I think the story wasn’t successfully developed nor were the characters. That big action scene was stretched unnecessarily. Misogyny is on full display! and the reason given for cheating… his papa 😂 papa papa papa papa, bus itni si story hai!

But overall, ranbir’s, anil’s and Bobby’s acting was top notch, the story was not! Only a one time watch for me! this genre isn’t for me! I was squinting my eyes at almost every bloody scene 😂 won’t be going for the sequel if there’s gonna be one.

Mahine mein 4 baar pad change karne ke liye itna natak karti hai tu, main roz 50 kar raha hoon. His comparing her periods to his medical condition. Changing 4 pads in a month? In which universe? The director clearly added this to piss the viewers off because ain’t nobody that dumb.

its vanga revenge for feminists critical about his movie Kabir Singh

Vanga sounds like a petty man child. Imagine demeaning all women’s experiences with their periods just because a few feminists pissed him off. Dumb fcuk.

Animal was a complete full house cinema in Sydney, Australia. All sessions (including morning slots - thefcuk) was getting sold out real quick. I’m sure the morning and afternoon sessions consisted of high school kids bunking class to watch the film. They probably knew their parents wouldn’t let them watch the movie, but I understand. I was also forbidden to watch Jism because a moaning lip quivering Bipasha giving John wet saliva kisses and playing with her belly button with an ice-cube was a parental nightmare. Lmao. That shit is tamed in comparison to Bollywood movies now. Anyhow, point being, this movie is definitely a success.

I walked in and noticed that 85-90% of the audience were all guys. My mum walked in blind, having absolutely no idea what a commotion this movie has caused. She’s an ardent RK fan, so her first comment was ‘look how many people love Ranbir’ (🤗🥰☺️). I gave her the side-eye because ain’t nobody gonna be telling her that half of them were here to see some sexy times and a naked Tripti.

I read on the forum that there’s a scene where RK is humping Tripti, so I really tried to ease my mum into it while the ads were playing. I felt like roles were reversed and I had to tell my poor sanskari mum about the birds and the bees. I’m mentioning this to spare you the horror of watching Animal with your parents.

The conversation went like this:

Fingu: Mum, just so you know this movie has a lot of sexy scenes.

Mum: Really? Why?

Fingu: 🤦🏽‍♀️ What do you mean why? How would I know that?

Mum: Bollywood movies have changed. Now there’s so much kissing kissing.

Fingu: Okay mum but there’s MORE than kissing in this movie.

Mum: What do you mean more?

Fingu: Like really bad stuff.

Mum: Weee, How bad?

Fingu: Just close your eyes please 😭

Do you know how to avoid the above conversation folks? Simple, don’t 👏🏼 make 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 mistake 👏🏼 of 👏🏼 watching 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 movie 👏🏼 with 👏🏼 your 👏🏼 parents.

_______________________________________________

Now let’s review Animal. The first half of the film started super strong and was impactful. It commands your attention and you’ll be completely dumbfounded by the way Ranbir has gotten into character. It was actually terrifying how good he was at portraying an unhinged psychopath with severe daddy issues. The scene where he goes on a killing spree with that machine-gun-vehicle-thing was batshit crazy. His expressions while shooting non stop was menacing. He looked completely and utterly mentally deranged. You could clearly see the pleasure in his expressions when he was killing everyone. A true blue psychopath if you ask me.

There’s a lot of blood in this film. If you have a queasy stomach then Animal is not the film for you. I can somewhat deal with blood and gore so long as no cockroaches and torture related to hurting finger/toenails is involved. You can kill every character in the film but any animals being hurt, killed or abandoned, especially during an earthquake, tsunami, tornado and volcanic eruption is AGAINST THE LAW. Thankfully, no actual animals were involved in this movie.

Let’s talk about Rashmika. I watched that one movie of hers where she was playing the role of a blind woman and well I’ve never been able to unsee it. Now she looks blind in every movie. I also couldn’t understand a word she was saying in the first half of the film. She was freaking mumbling her dialogues. It was so frustrating! All I wanted to do was enter the screen and physically open her mouth. This is resolved mostly in the second half and she acted pretty well. Nothing super outstanding but not too shabby either.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie before the intermission but unfortunately like most films these days, it starts off strong but then becomes a shitstorm during the second half. The director was like, let’s put sex sex and more sex because who gives a shit about maintaining a storyline when it’s so much more fun to torture my audience, especially the badnaseebs sitting next to their parents. What the hell was even the point of Tripti? She was as useless as Abhishek Bachan dancing next to Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2. There was no need for her. All she did was get naked and have a tongue war with RK.

You know what pisses me off even more? I warned my mum during the intermission that the SEXY TIMES wasn't over, and that in fact it hadn’t even started. I did all this just so I don’t have to hear her do the tsk tsk disappointed sound effects. I have PTSD of hearing her judgemental tsk tsk tsks when I had to endure the trauma of watching SRK break his no kiss rule with Katrina Kaif. ‘Oh so SRK is now kissing too. What a shame. He was never like this’. I was in tears, ‘STOP MUM, PLEASE FORGIVE HIM. HE WAS FORCED’ I lied. Anyway, guess who still did the tsk tsk accompanied with the disappointed head shake? YUP. My mother dearest. The whole sequence with Tripti had my eyes rolling to the back of my skull. I was cringing and trying to move my body as far away from my mum, almost ended up laying on the lap of the random chick sitting next to me. I gave up and just covered my head with my jacket. This was literally me the whole time.

Ranbir’s character starts spiralling out of control in the second half. His obsession with his father and desire to receive attention/acceptance is the main issue in the film. You basically see him slowly lose his mind to blood-thirst and that’s where it becomes obvious that there’s no point of return for him. The damage and neglect has festered into his mind and eaten his soul since childhood. You don’t even feel sorry for his character. He’s unapologetically toxic and doesn’t give a shit about anyone’s opinion or regard except for his father. You thought Jaya Bachan loved Rahul in K3G? You thought Devdas loved Paro? Well you can multiply all the loves in the world by a million and that still isn’t as close to how much Ranbir’s character loves his dad lmfao. Sucks to be him coz the love is never even justified. He was a shit and neglectful father, so Y U LOVE HIM?

Lord Bobby’s character was REPULSIVE. Despite the short screen time, Bobby did so well that I wanted him dead. The climax was a bit of a WTF because the fight scene looked like a love-making scene between two lovers-to-enemies. They were dancing around each other and for some reason the director thought it was a great idea to break into a song. HUH. Then of course Bobby rips Ranbir’s shirt off *Sallu Bhai style* and while I didn’t mind too much because his lean body was nice, I had the scary premonition that Bobby might remove his shirt too. Spare me the horror thy Lord. Alas, my fears came to life and I had to also watch a shirtless Bobby play kushti with a shirtless RK. Random observation but Bobby has a very small torso. He’s all legs. Please put the shirt back on.

Jesus, I’m sorry this turned out way longer than expected. My rating of the film is ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5. I liked the film before the intermission but then everything became shit in the second half. The audience was well behaved and thankfully no one cheered or celebrated the abusive and misogynistic dialogues throughout the film. Of course no cinema experience of mine can go smoothly because during the credits, extra scenes were being shown and the guy sitting in front of me decided to watch the whole thing standing up. He even had one hand resting comfortably on his hip while he blocked my whole view. Hehehehehehe 😊🔪

P.S. RK actually looked good with his long hair and beard. He should skip the shaven look and start embracing the bearded life. It made him look younger. He also has cemented the fact that he’s one of the best actors we have in Bollywood (barring some of his stupid movies). The man can act. OKAY BYEEE 👋🏼

I was able to understand Rashmika surprisingly but in my country every Hindi movie has subtitles

Ranbir's acting in the movie was phenomenal

I also liked part 1 only thing I liked in part 2 was father son resolving their differences and Ranvijay fulfiling his mission kill Bobby

All Bollywood movies here have subtitles as well. Had it not been for the subtitles, I wouldn’t have understood a word that came out of her mouth when RK was talking to her about the alpha man. Second half of the film she started to open her mouth more.

I watched Kabir Singh. It was cringe AF. I have no idea how people found his character hot when he literally tells the girl ‘I like the way you breathe’. Yeah right mate, I’d like to hear you say that when you wake up next to me after a garlic-infused dinner from the night before. How you like me now huh huh? 🫨

lmao Vanga’s Ranbir is way worse though. He’s Kabir on steroids with a sprinkle of blood, gore and psychopathy.

I have no clue how people find Kabir Singh hot too. His self-pity was pathetic. He never took responsibility for any of his mistakes. At one point in the movie dude names a poor dog 'Preeti'. WTF.

Does Vanga's Ranbir have moments where he indulges in self-pity?? Does the character take no responsibility for their mistakes and never learns from them??

The good

Ranbir’s acting is flawless

Anil Rashmika Tripti Bobby also deliver amazing performances. Rashmika was good in confrontation and romantic scenes. I liked that her character stood up for herself and didn’t accept the cheating

the father son relationship which does have some positive moments. Ranvijay loved him so much but no background story or positive moments shown between them till the end

Rashmika Ranbir chemistry they look great together.

I found some of Geetanjali Ranvijay scenes enjoyable in part 1 they have chemistry. Ranbir has chemistry with Tripti too but I didn’t like her character

Balbir was likeable in the end scene and asking Geetanjali if she was ok after gun noises

vijay’s mother was nice but he never concentrated on her love only his father

the bad: This film has

Violence

Physical abuse and threat of abuse

murder

extra marital affair/ polygamy

Anger

Disrespect

Misogyny

Nudity (some of the nudity unnecessary).

Ranvijay should not set an example for others. Yes, he was a loving son but a criminal. He is a protagonist not a hero or idol.

I didn’t like the pad dialogue

this film made Kabir singh look tame and reasonable

Tell me about it. Imagine finding out that your ex named his dog after you. That’s a straight fly kick to the head.

Ranbir’s character doesn’t consider anything he does wrong. He justifies his actions by claiming that he does everything for the love he has for his father. I understand his desire for revenge against anyone who tries to harm/kill his dad but at one point *MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD don’t read if you don’t want to know. Giving you a chance to stop reading at 1 2 3 4 5* he cheats on his wife to gain information about his father’s enemies and tells his wife about it. RK can see that he broke her but he still defends his actions because he needed to save his father. So when it comes to his dad, he’ll justify all his actions. He won’t take any accountability.
