A movie directed by the berserk “Muppet Show” character known as Animal couldn’t be any more unruly than Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s new film of that title.

Contrastingly notable for their absence are emotional depth, narrative cogency, or non-scatological humor — lacks that much ultra-violence and a surprising amount of sexual content can only distract from so much over such a long, bombastic, shallow course.

Nonetheless, the over-the-top intensity pushed for nearly three and a half hours will likely impress many viewers. That’s being counted on as “Animal” opens this weekend on the largest number of U.S. screens for any Indian feature.

Ranvijay Singh (Kapoor), often simply called “Hero” because even at 200+ minutes this movie has no time for subtlety, is the eldest offspring of Balbir Singh (Anil Kapoor), a steel and oil magnate who’s the richest man in India. As dad is usually too busy to do the honors, Vijay aka Hero appoints himself man of the house from an early age, taking this role very seriously if not at all wisely. That means, for instance, that when he learns a sister is being bullied at college, he simply storms into a lecture hall with a machine gun, then runs down the motorcycle-riding perps with his SUV.

The other assault on any thinking person is unparalleled misogyny. If you thought Kabir Singh was bad, oh boy, you are in for a rude surprise. Women in this world weep quietly, have no choice and no voice, no agency, are slapped and ridiculed and controlled by the gun-slinging, profanity-spewing, out-of-control gang of men. The women are reduced to timid caricatures whose most important work is to produce babies -- Kapoor’s Ranvijay Singh, after all, measures the “worth” of a woman by the size of her pelvis.
If Kapoor’s Ranvijay Singh asks a woman to lick his boot and walks away as she is about to, Bobby Deol’s Abrar jumps on his newly-wed wife in front of his guests and unzips his pants. If Ranvijay Singh jokes “lovingly” about slapping his wife, Abrar actually slaps – neither is better in this department than the other. The writing is simply crass.
In the end, Animal is about a man, Ranvijay, who is totally out of his senses and gets into fits of fury and rage, and sees no logic. Ranvijay has always craved his father's love and longed to spend time with his only hero. Any slight criticism or questioning of his father flips a switch in him and would leave the other person in mortal danger. What he needs the most is a good therapist. But then there is a scene where a therapist tries to help him till he shoos her away, go figure.
If you can get past all this, you will start appreciating Ranbir Kapoor’s performance. He many times resembles Sanjay Dutt, the mannerisms included. His mastery of the action choreography just accentuates the scenes. Kapoor is an ace actor who emotes rage, love, annoyance, and guilt without any inhibition, but we know that about him already. The same, however, can’t be said about Rashmika Mandanna. Some of her dialogues might be unintelligible to many of the viewers, the author included. Her performance lacks a sense of consistency – she owns some of the scenes but some are just flat.

Anil Kapoor is another highlight of Reddy’s movie. He plays the role of Ranvijay Singh’s father Balbir Singh with Elan. In the few scenes, in which Tripti Dimri appears, she lights up the screen.
But one of the factors that will pull audiences to watch Animal is Bobby Deol – nay, pardon me, Lord Bobby.
