The upcoming release of Animal, featuring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, is already setting significant milestones in the realm of Hindi cinema even before hitting the screens.
With two days left for its premiere, the film has remarkably crossed the mark of 2 lakh tickets sold in pre-sales, foreshadowing a historic pre-release record in the industry. Sources from Pinkvilla suggest that the epic crime saga is on track to achieve an impressive range of 4 to 5 lakh tickets sold before its release solely in major national cinema chains.
Such pre-sales projections could secure ‘Animal’ a distinguished position among the top five films with the highest advance ticket sales in Hindi cinema history.
As per insights shared by industry tracker Sacnilk, the initial day’s ticket sales for ‘Animal’ have amounted to a staggering Rs 14 crore, indicating an overwhelmingly positive response, especially from audiences in the Hindi-speaking regions. Interestingly, the film has also piqued substantial interest in the Telugu-speaking belt, contributing over Rs 5 crore to the total sales figure.
This exceptional response from Telugu audiences is noteworthy for a primarily Hindi film, hinting at the compelling appeal created by the combination of director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s vision and Rashmika Mandanna’s star power. Furthermore, ‘Animal’ is set to be released in dubbed versions in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam, expanding its reach across diverse linguistic audiences.
The substantial ticket sales prior to its release affirm the enormous anticipation and widespread interest in ‘Animal’, underlining the film’s potential to make a significant impact across multiple regional markets beyond its core Hindi audience base.
