'Animal' starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead released in theatres on December 1 amidst huge fanfare. Like his previous movie 'Kabir Singh', director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has been heavily criticised for his latest outing. Ranbir plays the character Ranvijay Singh Balbir in 'Animal' who has a problematic relationship with his father played by Anil Kapoor. Many found Ranbir's character similar to Shahid Kapoor from 'Kabir Singh'. While some have liked the action drama many have criticised it for being misogynistic and showing toxic masculinity.
