Ranbir Kapoor's film Animal becomes most-viewed Indian film on Netflix

Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor in the lead roles, is one of the biggest films of 2023. The film not only went on to become a huge commercial success at the box office but even after its OTT release the film remains unstoppable. The Sandeep Reddy Vanga directorial became the most-viewed Indian movie on the streaming giant, Netflix. 

The action drama flick has held its position in the platform's global charts for two consecutive weeks in the non-English category for films.  Not only this, the soundtrack of the film has also set a new record by becoming the fastest Indian album to garner over 500 million



streams on Spotify.

After a successful threatical run, the film was finally released on Netflix on the occasion of Republic Day. However, soon after its arrival on the platform, the film's makers and Netflix were brutally trolled for not releasing the Extended Cut version. 

On the box office front, Animal was a huge commercial success and went on to gross over Rs 800 crore globally, making it one of the most successful Hindi films ever. These figures could have been much bigger and the film might have crossed the prestigious Rs 1,000 crore mark, if it wasn't released in cinemas alongside Vicky Kaushal-starrer Sam Bahadur.
