Nothing against that Ranbir "brought to life the complex character of Ranvijay Vijay Singh, a deeply troubled individual shaped by childhood trauma...". However it is the 'how it was made' that is something I've issues with.
Showing violence on screen also isn't something I've an issue with. Yet again, it is the way it is done... and not only in Animal. There is no 'need' to show extreme violence in detail. It is - first of all - done to trigger the "animalistic' nature residing in humans (finally, we are an evolution out of animals) and even making people to enjoy it - especially when venting this 'nature' gets unpunished.
In books, one hardly will find a mass-murderer who kills out of personal issues, getting unpunished, but history tells us otherwise (only, mostly, they are part of politics). What Vanga portrays, though, are individuals who are like animals having raving madness...
Actually, I suppose that Vanga (and successors) simply wants to showcase extreme violence because it makes money in times where also social media gets flooded with aggressivity and vilifying behaviour...
Dhurandar, at least, plays in an environment of violence which criminals and poltics have created (I'm curious to get to know about Jaskirat's past).
