Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna‘s Animal are creating waves at the box office. Its advance booking collections are reportedly signaling a promising start. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, renowned for his directorial success with Kabir Singh, is the mastermind behind this project as well. Set against the backdrop of the underworld, Animal explores the complex father-son relationship between Arjun Singh (Ranbir Kapoor) and Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor). Along with Rashmika Mandanna and Tripti Dimri, the film also features Bobby Deol as the antagonist.
In comparison, Animal is currently overshadowing other box office competitions, particularly Meghna Gulzar’s biopic on Sam Manekshaw, Sam Bahadur, starring Vicky Kaushal. The film also has a stellar cast that includes Sanya Malhotra, Fatima Sana Sheikh, Neeraj Kabi, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. However, despite the cast, Sam Bahadur has reported limited advance bookings of $2 hundred thousand.
Animal advance booking: How many tickets sold so far?
The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial has sold a staggering 7,45,992 tickets for 12,539 shows. Its advance booking collection has raked in an impressive $2.3 million in the initial days of release. The ticket sales data from Sacnilk reveals that Animal has witnessed significant traction in both Hindi and Telugu shows.

Other states such as Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh have also shown substantial support. Each state collected over $1 hundred thousand in advance bookings.
The anticipation surrounding Animal is building, with expectations that it will become Ranbir Kapoor’s biggest opener. As such, it will even surpass the success of Sanju, which had earned $4 million on its opening day. According to Sacnilk’s projections, Animal is poised to earn $7 million in India and an additional $ 3.5 million overseas, resulting in a substantial $11 million gross on its opening day.
As the release date approaches, Animal seems poised to make a significant impact at the box office. With its engaging storyline and star-studded cast, the film will capture the audience’s attention and set the stage for a successful run in theaters.
