Action drama film 'Animal' has earned Rs 481 crore gross at the worldwide box office within five days of the release, the makers said on Wednesday. Fronted by Ranbir Kapoor and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film released on December 1 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Production house T-Series shared the collection update of "Animal" on X.

"He is the Box Office #Animal #AnimalHuntBegins," the banner captioned the post which read that the film had smashed "box office records 5-day worldwide gross" by earning Rs 481 crore. While it is running successfully in theatres, a section of critics and viewers have slammed "Animal", calling it misogynistic and graphically violent.
