The wild and intense gangster drama, helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, achieved this remarkable feat in a mere six days, solidifying Kapoor’s position as a force to be reckoned with in the industry.
‘Animal’ Sets Its Sights on Salman Khan’s Sultan and the 600 Crore Club
Having achieved the prestigious milestone of 527.60 crore worldwide, ‘Animal’ now sets its sights on two formidable targets. Firstly, it aspires to join the illustrious 600 Crore Club at a rapid pace, aiming to surpass this milestone by the upcoming weekend. Secondly, the film harbors ambitions of outshining Salman Khan’s ‘Sultan,’ currently holding the tenth spot with a gross worldwide collection of 601 crore. The anticipation surrounding Ranbir Kapoor’s dual conquest adds an extra layer of excitement to the film’s unfolding saga.
Animal’s Climb up the Worldwide Bollywood Chart
Presently standing at the 15th position on the list of highest-grossing Bollywood films worldwide, ‘Animal’ eyes a coveted spot in the top 10. With its overseas collections reaching 156.49 crore, the film inches closer to cinematic heavyweights. The challenge includes surpassing the overseas gross collection of the 10th-placed ‘Dilwale,’ standing at approximately 180 crore, while bearing witness to Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal,’ a titan ruling the list with an astounding 1435 crore in gross collections.
‘Animal’ Aims to Surpass Sultan’s Global Gross and Sanju’s Indian Collection
The journey for ‘Animal’ continues as it sets its sights on the upper echelons of Bollywood records. To secure a position among the top 10 highest-grossing Bollywood films globally, the film must surpass ‘Sultan,’ a feat achievable by crossing the 600 crore gross collection milestone. Simultaneously, in the Indian market, ‘Animal’ eyes dethroning ‘Sanju’ to become Ranbir Kapoor’s highest-grossing film domestically, with the ultimate goal of surpassing ‘Sultan’s’ formidable 589 crore gross collection to make its mark worldwide.
‘Animal’ on the Trail of 1000 Crore Worldwide Collection
As the dust settles on the Indian and global box office battlegrounds, ‘Animal’ aims for cinematic grandeur by setting its sights on an ambitious 1000 crore worldwide collection. Following the footsteps of superstars Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan,’ this film embodies the industry’s relentless pursuit of new milestones.
