Karan Johar calls Animal the best movie of 2023
He said that people come and tell him that Animal is the opposite of his movie?Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. They think RRKPK is "vaccination for a film like Animal". However, he disagrees. He said, "Animal to me is the best film of the year. It took me a while to reach to this statement and a lot of courage because when you are around people, you fear judgment."?
He even loved Kabir Singh but was afraid to admit it. "Like during the time of Kabir Singh, which I also loved... I was like I am going to say this and I am going to get dirty looks from certain people but I don't care anymore."
He also revealed why he loved the controversial Sandeep Reddy Vanga movie starring Ranbir Kapoor.?
"I loved Animal for its front-footed, absolutely conviction-based narrative storytelling, breaking grammar, breaking myths, breaking everything that you think conforms to mainstream cinema. Suddenly you have an interval block where the hero is getting bashed up and everyone's singing a song... I am like, 'Where have you seen a sequence like this?' It's genius."
The climax made him tear up.?
"The end, where the two men are going for each other and they play that song... I had tears in my eyes, but there was only blood. So I was like something is wrong with me or something is wrong with him, but something put together is very right about this film.?
Praising the director-writer, he said, "This is not an average-thinking mind. This is a mind of someone who is so distinct, so individualistic that I was blown away."?
He liked the movie so much that he watched it twice. "First to see as an audience member and second to study it. I think the success, and acceptance of Animal is game-changing. The conviction is something that I want to have."?
Karan Johar talked about Animal at the Galatta Plus' Roundtable Discussion which he attened along with Sandeep Reddy, Rani Mukerji and Taapsee Pannu among others.?
