Within just 12 hours of ticket sales at major national chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, the gangster drama has already sold over 36,000 tickets.

Record-Breaking Start: Outshining Previous Ranbir Kapoor Films
“Animal” has marked the best-ever start on the advance booking front for a Ranbir Kapoor film, surpassing the numbers set by “Brahmastra,” which sold 30,000 tickets in the first 24 hours. The current bookings, about 60 percent higher than “Brahmastra,” hint at the film’s potential to secure an overall advance of over 4 lakh tickets in the three national chains by Thursday night. This promising start positions “Animal” as a frontrunner in the box office race.
Phenomenal Response at Single Screens and Beyond
