Alright, let’s dive into the electrifying trailer that’s got everyone buzzing! We typically don’t do trailer reviews here at TFI, but Sandeep Reddy Vanga has crafted something so utterly compelling, it’s impossible not to talk about it.
First things first, let’s set aside the box office predictions. Sure, this movie’s going to rake in hundreds of crores, but that’s not the point. The real question we’re grappling with here is this: Are we witnessing the making of the greatest Bollywood cinema spectacle ever?
The trailer zooms in on a profoundly riveting theme – a timid son’s desperate quest for his alpha male father’s approval. But this isn’t just any son-father drama. It’s a volcanic eruption of raw emotions. Picture this: the ‘Animal’ inside the timid son, dormant and restrained, suddenly snaps to life. It’s a transformation that’s both startling and captivating.
This isn’t about mindless aggression, though. Every snarl, every fierce move of this newly awakened ‘Animal’ is driven by a singular desire – to make his father feel proud, safe, and happy. Yes, even in his most animalistic form, his actions are tinged with a poignant yearning for paternal validation.
What’s mesmerizing about the trailer is how it balances this ferocious energy with a deeply emotional undercurrent. It’s not just a display of raw power; it’s a heart-wrenching narrative of familial bonds, expectations, and the lengths one will go to for acceptance.
Let’s talk about Ranbir Kapoor in this trailblazing trailer. He’s not just good; he’s phenomenal! His transformation from the clean-shaven, boy-next-door to a rugged, wild-haired force of nature is nothing short of cinematic magic. The intensity in his eyes, the raw passion in his actions – it’s a performance that leaves you speechless. He embodies both rage and passion with such finesse, it’s hard to remember this is the same actor we’ve seen in softer roles.
And then, there’s the inimitable Anil Kapoor. Calling him a legend almost feels like an understatement. In this trailer, he’s a revelation. He’s compelling as the strict disciplinarian father, an imposing figure that commands respect and fear. But the real kicker is when he shifts to a more vulnerable role – a father shaken and taken aback by the transformation of his docile son into a ferocious ‘animal’. His portrayal of rage and helplessness is haunting, culminating in a gut-wrenching lament to his wife – “Criminal Paida kiya hai humne.” It’s a line delivered with such powerful emotion, it echoes long after the trailer ends.
This isn’t just acting; it’s a masterclass in character evolution. The dynamic between Kapoor and Kapoor is electric, a dance of complex emotions that’s as captivating as it is disturbing. They’re not just playing roles; they’re living them, bringing to life a story that’s as much about the characters’ internal battles as their external ones.

There’s this one scene in the trailer that’s an absolute showstopper. Ranbir Kapoor, in a mind-blowing role reversal, plays Anil Kapoor’s stern dad character, while Anil enacts the docile son. The intensity hits a peak when Ranbir, mimicking his father, explodes in a manic outburst, shouting “BAHRA NAHI HOON MAIN” at Anil Kapoor. It’s a moment of raw, unfiltered brilliance – disturbing, yet incredibly powerful. This scene alone showcases the explosive dynamics and exceptional acting prowess that this movie promises. It’s not just good; it’s a breathtaking piece of cinema!
Those mind-blowing fight scenes. They’re like a symphony of chaos, perfectly orchestrated. Every punch, slap, and kick lands with such precision, it’s like watching a dance of destruction. And the background music? It amplifies each moment, turning each fight into a heart-pounding spectacle.

The color palette of this trailer is another masterstroke. Vivid hues contrasted with dark shadows transport us into a world where only this story exists. It’s a visual feast that grips you and doesn’t let go.
And oh, those scenes with the suited Sikh henchmen wielding machine guns against Ranbir Kapoor, clad in a short kurta and mundu, brandishing a menacing machete – it’s epic! The Punjabi track pulsating in the background adds an electrifying energy that could awaken the ‘animal’ in the meekest of viewers.
This isn’t just action; it’s a raw, adrenaline-pumping experience. Every frame is charged with intensity, turning this trailer into a whirlwind of emotions and excitement.
Just when you think the trailer couldn’t possibly ramp up the intensity any further, in comes Bobby Deol, and boy, does he take it to a whole new level. If Ranbir Kapoor is the epitome of rage, Bobby Deol is the embodiment of pure terror. With every scene, he escalates the stakes. Ranbir might be the ‘Animal,’ but Bobby? He’s the devil incarnate.
His presence is electric. Decked out with a sculpted physique, a wild, unkempt beard, and those hauntingly intense eyes, he’s the villain you can’t peel your eyes away from. And the best part? He doesn’t need words. His actions, his demeanor, they scream louder than any dialogue could. He’s a silent storm, devastating in his quiet intensity.
The climax of the trailer is a masterstroke. There’s Bobby Deol, nonchalantly lying on a seemingly lifeless Ranbir Kapoor, smoking a chillum as if he’s just finished a mundane task. It’s chilling, it’s unsettling, and it’s unbelievably effective. This image alone leaves you reeling, desperate to know more.
Let’s talk about the mastermind behind this explosive trailer – Sandeep Reddy Vanga. He’s the visionary who brought us hits like ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Arjun Reddy’, and with ‘Animal’, he’s about to add another jewel to his crown. This film is shaping up to be a phenomenal addition to his already impressive portfolio.
Vanga’s work, known for its raw, unapologetic portrayal of intense characters, might stir up controversy. Sure, he might face criticism from feminists for what they deem as a celebration of toxic masculinity. But remember, Quentin Tarantino didn’t become a legend by playing it safe. He pushed boundaries with his unique style of blood and gore. In Vanga’s case, if masculinity is his brand of gore, then so be it. He’s staying true to his art, and that’s commendable.
This trailer is a solid 5 out of 5. It’s not just good; it’s a masterpiece of storytelling, acting, and cinematic craft. Vanga has once again proven his mettle as a filmmaker who’s not afraid to explore the darker, more intense aspects of human nature. ‘Animal’ isn’t just a movie; it’s a bold statement in the world of cinema. Get ready for a film that’s bound to leave a lasting impact!
