In the wake of the highly-anticipated release of Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal trailer, the film has stirred up a whirlwind of reactions, from praise for Kapoor’s stellar performance to criticism aimed at Rashmika Mandanna.
The trailer, showcasing a narrative of vengeance and complex relationships, has become a talking point in the cinematic sphere. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his work on Kabir Singh, is credited with extracting another career-defining performance from Ranbir Kapoor in Animal. The movie boasts a lengthy runtime of 3 hours, 21 minutes, and 23 seconds, certified with an ‘A’ rating.
Ranbir Kapoor portrays the role of a son seeking retribution for his father’s death, navigating a tumultuous relationship between parent and child. On the other hand, Rashmika Mandanna portrays Geetanjali, the female lead, attempting to salvage her marriage amid a backdrop of intensity.
However, it seems not all is smooth sailing for Mandanna. The internet has erupted with memes, sparked by her dialogue delivery and expressions in the trailer. Netizens have taken to various platforms, particularly Reddit and X, to share snippets and express their discontent.
In a specific scene highlighted by a Reddit user, a heated exchange between Kapoor and Mandanna takes a controversial turn. The actress’s dialogue delivery, marked by an unclear and inaudible voice, has drawn criticism. Some attribute the backlash to a perceived mixed accent, blending with Tamil, while others lament the apparent lack of expression in Mandanna’s eyes.
One user stated “Rashmika Mandanna’s acting in this scene reminded me of Amisha Patel’s Papa scene!!” while other commented “Ranbir is not acting he really got angered by seeing her overacting thats way he is beating her”.
The controversy has ignited a debate on social media, with a faction defending Mandanna’s portrayal and others questioning her acting prowess. Memes circulating online juxtapose her expressions and dialogues with scenes from other films, creating a humor-filled commentary on her performance.
Despite the criticism, Animal remains one of the most talked-about releases, featuring a stellar cast including Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Tripti Dimri, Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Babloo Prithveeraj, and Siddhant Karnick. The film is set to hit screens worldwide in five languages on December 1, promising a cinematic experience that goes beyond the controversies surrounding its leading lady.
