The film promises to be a visceral ode to fatherhood that also flirts with toxicity, love, and brutality. There are shots of bronzed bodies, bruised souls, and blistering vengeance. Kapoor goes all guns blazing at one point, far more intense than he did in Bombay Velvet back in 2015. Anil Kapoor plays the father here, callous and yet charismatic. Rashmika too adds a layer of complexity to her character. Hers seems to be a character torn between her love for Kapoor and Kapoor’s love for his father.
And then there’s the mysterious Bobby Deol. He plays a mute character who lets his abs and eyes do the talking. He’s mostly playing Kapoor’s nemesis who’s out to eliminate him. A fight scene culminates the trailer with Deol lying on Kapoor’s body and casually lighting a cigarette. The trailer ends with the hushed noise of him releasing the smoke in the air. That’s how Vanga approaches his characters and the world they inhabit. They are unapologetic about their evilness and are the heroes of their own worlds.
As stated above, Animal has been rated an A certificate and is 201 minutes long. Love needs patience, so does violence, maybe that’s why the length. December 1 should deliver the sucker punch.
