Indian cinema is undergoing a massive transformation, moving beyond the traditional “song and dance” to deliver gritty, high-stakes emotional epics. Following the historic success of RRR in Japan, the next big sensation is finally arriving Animal.
Directed by the visionary Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring the versatile superstar Ranbir Kapoor, Animal is not just an action movie—it is a visceral exploration of the human psyche and the lengths one will go for family.
At its core, Animal is a dark, operatic tale about the relationship between a son, Ranvijay Singh (Ranbir Kapoor), and his emotionally distant father, Balbir Singh (played by the legendary Anil Kapoor).
Growing up in the shadow of a wealthy but preoccupied father, Ranvijay develops an almost obsessive devotion to him. When an assassination attempt is made on his father’s life, Ranvijay’s repressed trauma explodes into a violent crusade. He transforms from a son into a “beast,” willing to burn the world down to protect his bloodline.
While the film features some of the most intense action sequences seen in Indian cinema, there are several reasons why it is expected to resonate deeply with the Japanese public. The protagonist’s unwavering loyalty to his father mirrors traditional themes of filial piety, though taken to a modern, extreme level.
Ranbir Kapoor delivers a career-defining performance. He undergoes a physical and emotional metamorphosis that has been compared to the intensity of early “New Hollywood” icons.
From the snow-capped mountains to the industrial grit of the family empire, the cinematography is world-class. The soundtrack, ranging from haunting melodies to high-energy anthems, is an atmospheric journey in itself.
Clocking in as a true cinematic epic, the film takes its time to build tension before releasing it in explosive bursts. From the now-iconic “axe sequence” involving hundreds of attackers to the silent, emotional confrontations between father and son, the pacing keeps you on the edge of your seat.
After shattering box office records in India, North America, and the UK, Animal is coming to Japanese theaters with high expectations. Whether you are a fan of intense family dramas or stylish, high-octane action, this is a film that demands to be seen on the largest screen possible.
