Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal' released on December 1 and since then the film has created havoc on the box office. Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal' clashhed with Meghna Gulzar and Vicky Kaushal-starrer 'Sam Bahadur' but despite the clash, the movie had earned Ranbir Kapoor his biggest career opening yet!

According to Taran Adarsh, Bollywood trade analyst, the film' s collection on Day 1 was 'sensational'. He took to 'X' (formerly Twitter) to say, "‘ANIMAL’ IS SENSATIONAL… Non-holiday / non-festival release, Non-franchise, No superstar cameos, ‘Adults’ certificate, 3+ hours run time, Clash with another film…Yet, #Animal has a PHENOMENAL Day 1 across #India… Fri ₹ 54.75 cr. #Hindi version. Nett BOC. #Boxoffice (sic.)"
