The All India opening day net of Animal will be around the Rs 60 crore mark, which is the second biggest of all time for a film of Hindi Origin after Jawan. Be it the national chains, non-national chains or the single screens, it was Animal’s rage across the board as the audiences went out in big numbers to witness Ranbir Kapoor in an out-and-out larger-than-life role with grey shades.
Animal faces capacity issues on day one
