Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, has become one of the most successful films of 2023.
Animal Movie: Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s latest film Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, has been receiving polarised reviews ever since its release on December 1.
Animal Movie Release: Few filmmakers have the ability to stir controversy like Sandeep Reddy Vanga, whose career has been laced by it since his debut movie, Arjun Reddy. Whether he’s publicly justifying violence in a romantic relationship or drawing criticism from a section of the internet for glorifying misogyny and toxic masculinity in his films, Reddy Vanga grabs headlines almost as much for the things he says as for the movies he creates. And his latest directorial, Animal, is no exception that has provoked heated responses online. In fact, it’s become one of the most discussed Bollywood movies on the internet this year.
Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor, Animal features numerous scenes which have been receiving a volley of criticism from a section of the internet. Some people are making strong arguments against nearly every element of the movie and labelling it “problematic” especially with respect to its treatment of women. Here are the five shocking scenes from Animal which have left social media divided like never before:
Ranbir Kapoor Asks Tripti Dimri To Lick His Shoe
In what is being dubbed as “the most problematic” scene of Animal, Ranbir Kapoor’s character Vijay Singh asks Zoya Riaz, played by Tripti Dimri, to lick his shoe in order to prove her love for him. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has also spoken about the particular scene in his long review of Animal. “The only time I disliked Vijay’s character is when he asks the girl to lick his shoe and I think that’s because of the brilliant casting of that actress which evoked an instant empathy in me the moment I saw her and it only grew with every close up of hers,” the veteran director said.
A Young Ranbir Kapoor Enters His Sister’s College With A Gun
In one of the most controversial scenes of the movie, a young Ranbir Kapoor enters his sister’s college with a gun to teach a lesson to those who ragged her. Talking about it, a netizen wrote on X: “I just watched someone’s WhatsApp status of a scene of Animal movie in theatre. Ranbir Kapoor just walked in with gun in the classroom and the whole theatre was cheering. A school boy with a gun in the classroom is not something to cheer up for. Something is very wrong with people.”

Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Pad Change’ Dialogue
In this scene, Ranbir’s Vijay gets into a heated argument with his on-screen wife Geetanjali, played by Rashmika Mandanna. The dialogue unfolds as Vijay lashes out at Geetanjali for complaining about her menstruation. Ranbir’s character is heard telling Rashmika, “You change four pads a month and create drama over it, here I am changing 50 in a day.” This dialogue has not gone down well with netizens, who are criticising Reddy Vanga for his “insensitive” writing.

Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘You Have A Big Pelvis’ Dialogue
“You have a big pelvis, you will accommodate healthy babies,” Ranbir Kapoor’s Vijay tells Rashmika’s Geetanjali as he attempts to manipulate her into leaving her fiancé for him. The dialogue has garnered severe criticism online. One user shared: “Forget whatever you knew about toxic masculinity… Ranbir’s pick up line was you have a big pelvis, you can have healthy babies.”
