Animal

2023 · The Week · Dec 2023

Animal, for all its blood and gore, is the story of a son's aching desire for his father's approval. The action, that drew whistles from a meagre crowd on an early winter morning show is the film's clear winner. Animal is Kapoor's film where the dialogue does not work, it's that hint of the unshed tear in his eyes and the tremor in his face that does.
