Netizens said what makes the movie's massive success more important is that it was a non-holiday release, had a mixed word of mouth, the lead actor didn't show such box office stamina ever before and its 200-minute. Vanga's writing abilities and Ranbir Kapoor's marvelous performance as a gentle savage who worships his father (Anil Kapoor) were praised a lot as the movie continues to grow from strength to strength.

Maverick filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma on Tuesday said with 'Animal' Vanga "scooped up all the hitherto holy templates and threw them into the garbage bin".

"I genuinely feel that you are the first expressionist artiste that the Indian film industry ever produced ..A million salutes to you," said Varma on X platform (formerly Twitter).
