Animal: 7 Problematic Scenes From This Ranbir Kapoor Starrer That Stirred Massive Controversy
Not just one or two but several problematic scenes in Animal have made the movie fall into massive controversy online.
Ranbir Kapoor¡¯s Animal is earning massive at the box office. Released on 1st December, this Sandeep Reddy Vanga movie has earned over Rs. 284 crores at the domestic box office. However, the film couldn¡¯t manage to earn good critic reviews owing to its baseless and overt violent plot.
Here are 7 problematic scenes from Animal that caused a massive controversy online:-
1. Ranbir Kapoor asks Tripti Dimri to lick his shoe to prove her love!
In one of the scenes, Ranbir¡¯s character tells Zoya Riaz (Triptii) to lick his shoe as a sign of her love. Even Ram Gopal Varma called out the scene and said, ¡°The only time I disliked Vijay¡¯s character is when he asks the girl to lick his shoe and I think that¡¯s because of the brilliant casting of that actress which evoked an instant empathy in me the moment I saw her and it only grew with every close up of hers".
2. Ranbir Kapoor¡¯s ¡®Pad Change¡¯ Fiasco
In another scene, the angry Ranbir tells Rashmika¡¯s character Geetanjali, "You change four pads a month and create drama over it, here I am changing 50 in a day.¡± Not just insensitive, this dialogue is even factually wrong. A little education might have helped Vanga know how basic biology functions.
3. Ranbir Kapoor¡¯s ¡®You Have A Big Pelvis¡¯ Pickup line
Ranbir tells Rashmika in one scene, ¡°You have a big pelvis, you will accommodate healthy babies¡±. And this was in an attempt to make her break up with her fianc¨¦. Well, Vanga never fails to amaze us with his mindset and we hope he never said this dialogue to any of his partners (if any, ever).
4. School-going Ranbir Entering His Sister¡¯s College With A Gun
In an attempt to threaten the guy who harassed his sister, the young Ranbir Kapoor barges into his sister's college with a gun. One netizen tweeted, ¡°When Ranbir Kapoor entered the classroom brandishing a gun, the entire audience applauded. It is not cause for celebration when a schoolboy brandishes a gun within the classroom. There is a serious problem with people.¡±
This movie is actually opposite of anti- Hindu

5. Ranbir Kapoor Goes Naked And Nobody Knows Why
Soon after his heart surgery in the movie, Ranbir's character goes on a nude walk on his lawn making his guards celebrate with gunshots in the sky. We¡¯re still processing what the celebration was for. While some called it bold and brave, others found it simply unnecessary and ¡®trying to do anything and everything¡¯.
6. Ranbir attempting to choke and shoot Rashmika
Ranbir definitely had daddy issues but Rashmika facing the brunt of it was so unwanted. Several people felt that Ranbir attempting to choke and shoot at her in that bedroom (Karwachauth) sequence was too harsh and uncalled for. FYI, this scene arrived exactly after he came home after cheating on Rashmika.
7. Ranbir's Character Thinks Men Must Keep Their Wives In Control
Just another problematic sequence from Animal. Ranbir is heard telling his cousins, ¡°Shadi mein darr hona chahiye, pakad honi chahiye. Pakad ke rakho.¡± In another scene that we can recall, Ranbir threatens Rashmika with physical abuse and justifies it by saying, 'I'll slap you so hard. First kiss hua, first s*x hua, first slap nahin hua na'."
