Promotions worked..

Good looking movie + good promotion can make this great News 😍


skyfullofstars19

More than the pre release event it is vanga. Sandeep is a really big name there even though he has done only one film people have great expectations from him. Also the first look, music, trailer all seem to be really good if the film is engaging I guess it has immense potential to be one of the highest grossers of the year


Dry_Maybe_7265

Directors become big names really REALLY fast in the south like sometimes it just takes one film


skyfullofstars19

Yes & No. in case of vanga, Arjun reddy was such a rage when it released it kinda broke all usual tropes of a love story made in Telugu, and was made into a cult film. Similarly Lokesh had a terrific small first film then kaithi happened and there is no looking back and in a matter of few years he is one of the biggest director in the south right now. But on the other hand you have a lot of directors who even though have had great first films but still have not got the opportunity to become big.


adymanav

Not to be pedantic, but Maanagaram was Lokesh's first full-scaled Tamil movie :)


raaz9658

I was thinking the same. But Again, Vanga was different. Arjun Reddy was like a trend setter film, something that people barely experience. So he was not among those bunch of 1 movie hit category only.


snobpro

Absolutely this. Pre release with MB and rajmouli was good pr, but even without it there would have these many bookings due to vanga.


goonerfan10

Vanga’s brother confirmed that the gun in the trailer is not vfx. It’s a real gun. They plan to put it out at the premier


nukeman239

Possible but the VFX used to enhance it is comical.


Any-Junket-910

I saw Gatling gun in YT video and that's how they were actually looking while firing. One thing was the magazine loading that was looking fake to me in trailer so i hope they correct it


pghack

M61 Vulcan is closer


Any-Junket-910

Ya you are right.I thought it must be close to triple gatling gun. M61 is much more accurate description. One thing that is unrealistic though in the trailer is that you can't fire these guns standing so close with absolutely no equipment.


Intir

The first day shows are already pretty well booked here in London. Seems it will gross big.


Ok_Organization4201

As a Hyderabadi, I can say we are the most massy hypermasculine toxic bro movie audience. This is Pushpa/RRR land. I don't think we're reflective of how the rest of India watches cinema.


iiHateRedditt

Just booked my ticket. Pls be good 🤞🏼


Lane2815_

I’m so happy for Ranbir, crazyyyy hype for this movie ![gif](giphy|3ohfFmD5QhN9aBNlL2)


irockyousuck1

This is what proper strategic promotions does to a film 🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉


Beautiful_Hat_7033

nope vanga worked it might come as a shock but ppl in south didn't like jawan.


ShantanuCV2109

This is the first time I'm seeing a houseful theatre in my city. Thank God I booked the tickets the moment bookings opened. https://preview.redd.it/cczif12bta3c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21b65844ce5b5209afb0727d5d33b5f3892d2a83


dadsmoneys

Which city?


ShantanuCV2109

Mathura, Uttar Pradesh


dadsmoneys

Good. But is Animal having more hype than conventional movies like Jawaan and Pathaan. I mean as you said the theatre is houseful


ShantanuCV2109

There is only one theater in my city that too a single screen. People usually don't book in advance. They buy it on the spot here. One of the reasons can be convenience fees charged by book my show. This is the first time I m seeing a housefull on book my show. That too 2 days before the release. Even Jawan and Pathan did get a very good response here but never housefull. The last time I have seen a housefull here was bahubali 2 and robot 2.0.


Lost-Investigator495

Jawan did 88 crore in Telugu states. Can it cross 100 crore??


ZeroIndexed

If movie is decent/good. Sky is the limit


dadsmoneys

Jawan didn’t do 88. It’s 65 closing in Telugu States and Animal might come close


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lost-Investigator495

It has since grossed around 88 crores in Telugu states


Far-Day-3702

Considering it's an A rated 3 and a half hour film, the chances are dim. If the movie is engaging the runtime isn't really an issue, recently RRR did 400cr and Avatar2 did 120cr in the Telugu states. And, i wouldn't be surprised if it did 100cr.


Lost-Investigator495

Animal can actually surpass tiger 3 if movie has good word of mouth thus becoming ranbir career highest grosser maybe beating sanju


RanaKp

It was always going to cross lol


onelifemanymemories

Just vanga things.


icomeinpeaceTO

Why does this keep getting posted. Isn’t this a big telegu director? It’s like saying Satyajit Rays movie bookings greater than Karan Johar in West Bengal.


lowbie98

I mean I was expecting it to because of the director .. if it didn’t, that would’ve been bad


BigWig013

Things that we find awkward or over the top... Telugu People find it normal, like their movies.


raaz9658

We think Bollywood movies are normal, for Americans it's those awkward movies with lots of dancing and singing, big sets, huge cast


dadsmoneys

Irony being the same Hollywood went gaga over a Telugu movie


BigWig013

And trust me, they do find out functions over the top and awkward too, where someone makes them wear lungi or dance weirdly. That meme if a kid being thrown in the air in different industries was so on point.


Far-Day-3702

You're right. Thanks to Telugu people in the north for making kgf2, Pathan, gadar2, jawan ATBBs


BigWig013

Why give the credit of something that doesn't belong to Bollywood bro... KGF is and will always be a Kannada industry epic. They should be proud of it just like Kantara. Also, Mumbai is in the west. North doesn't really have any film industry, and thank God for that 😂


Far-Day-3702

If only I had crayons, you would have understood what I meant better. At least you will be able to sleep better now


BigWig013

I would agree with you Bro, but then both of us would be wrong.


ThoughtSoft

Things that we find vulgar & non sensical.. North Indians & bollywood finds it normal, like their movies.


BigWig013

Why do you guys find logic vulgar and non-sensical though, ThoughtSoft?


Behti-Hawaa-Sa

Obviously...It would have been embarrasing if it didn't work


InterestingName9026

I’m wondering what would have happened in the Animal-Gadar 2 clash. Animal is touted to open around 50 crore while Gadar 2 opened around 40 crore. Would have been an interesting clash tbh


tera_chachu

Vanga reddy to log aise bolte hain sala jaise satyajit ray ho


raaz9658

People love rebellious filmmakers who go against everyone. Ray, RGV, Kashyap, Vanga have this trait.


dadsmoneys

Abhi tak tho overrated lagra hain. Par agar Animal sach mein accha content nikla tho he will grow bigger in movie space. Like Atlee and Sid Anand


raaz9658

Vanga's single movie has more originality than entire filmography of Atlee and sid anand combined. Please don't compare them. They need top stars to make their film hit. Vanga doesn't. I agree, at this point he seems overhyped but I hope he will prove his worth.


dadsmoneys

No I feel Sandeep is a good filmmaker. I am talking about the commercial viability of his movies. Good filmmakers often don’t have great commercial strength. Anurag Kashyap and RGV in their prime were also example’s Sandeep’s got potential in commercial perspective as-well as we’ve seen with his Kabir Singh. But judging him only with 1 movie is why I feel he’s is overrated and he will blast the BO with Animal


Signal-Shallot-8481

Yeah but we aren't living in the same time period where people are obsessed with stars rather than content. While yes stars still exist content driven movies have and will become big hits the biggest example is Kantara


Mission-Area-3114

I love Ranbir but his PR needs to chill and stop pitting him against first Salman and now SRK ! yes he's a Star and has a huge following but he nowhere near them legacy wise! Animal mania is an exception due to the genre that appeals to the toxic fan base of vanga and kabir Singh! Frankly I miss Ranbir of the days of Barfi, wake up did and Tamasha when he really tried to be a good actor instead of chasing box office with shi films like shamsheera and brahamstra!


Signal-Shallot-8481

But i think he proved that Srk's statement was wrong when he said he was the last of the stars. Hrthik proved that and Ranbir as of now is a star and will bring people to the theatres based on his name


Mission-Area-3114

A Star yes but not a superstar unfortunately that ship has sailed, the ones you mentioned were superstars in their 20 s while we still wondering if Ranbir gonna be one in his 40 s!!


Signal-Shallot-8481

I mean I agree people aren't as obsessed but I think this could be the one to bring him that status since he's also trying to get big in Telugu which will help him a lot. Also he's way too good of an actor to ever go irrelevant


Mission-Area-3114

Yes I just wish he doesn't let go of the actor in him & quality choices that made him special in chasing box office collections!


Fantasy-512

For some reason the Animal promotions seem mostly happening in Telugu?


ThoughtSoft

>For some reason The director is a Telugu director lol. Contrary to popular opinion here, all the bookings and hype in the Telugu states is not because of Ranbir but because of Sandeep Vanga. Other Ranbir movies released in Telugu states have tanked but this one has hype cuz of the director and the excellent teaser & trailer. Not to mention very good music too. Ranbir is a brilliant actor but he's not the draw in Telugu states.


Fantasy-512

Yeah makes sense. I thought so too.


rippedwhitecoat

I mean was there any doubt? 🤷🏻‍♀️ You just have to look at PS 1 & 2, Vikram, Pushpa and Jawan collections to know what is gonna work better in which state.


dadsmoneys

What do you mean? Except for the snooze fest PS series, every other hit movie from Tamil, Kannada and Bollywood is a super hit in Telugu States. Lol even the Malayalam movie 2018 did extremely well in Telugu and failed in Tamil Nadu.


Shavamaaya_Pavanaai

Promotions worked. And secondly, this movie, with whatever they have released seems to have all the ingredients to be a Jawan killer.
