Ranbir Kapoor, Sandeep Vanga's Animal was released on 1st December and became a sensational blockbuster amassing over Rs 800 Crores GBOC. It has even touched Rs 500 Crores nett in domestic market. The team has celebrated its success recently with a grand party where Bollywood celebrities thronged to congratulate the team.
Meanwhile, the criticism about the bold content which is being called as mysogynist is also getting increased. Recently Javed Akhtar called the success of Animal, 'Very Dangerous'. Javed Akhtar said, “If there’s a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe or if a man says it’s okay to slap a woman, and if the film is a super duper hit, then that’s very dangerous.”
The Animal team slammed him saying that all his ‘art form is big false’, if a ‘writer of your calibre cannot understand the betrayal of a lover’. In Animal there is a scene where the film's lead character Rannvijay (Ranbir Kapoor), asked Zoya (Triptii Dimri) to lick his shoes to prove her love for him.
Now Kangana Ranaut Joins the row without naming the film she called it 'deeply discouraging'. Kangana writes, " I have been fighting hard so far but even audiences are encouraging women beating films where they are treated like sex objects and asked to lick shoes, this is deeply discouraging for someone who has been dedicating her life for woman empowerment films, might shift career in coming years, want to give best years of my life to something worthwhile."
