Animal is a visceral action drama that examines the intense and often toxic bond between Ranvijay Singh and his distant father, Balbir Singh. Raised in the shadow of his father's massive industrial empire, Ranvijay develops an obsessive need for parental validation, which manifests as extreme violence and overprotectiveness. When an assassination attempt is made on Balbir, Ranvijay embarks on a blood-soaked quest for revenge against those responsible, descending into a spiral of brutality that threatens his sanity and his marriage to Geetanjali. The film explores the themes of generational trauma, toxic masculinity, and the destructive power of blind devotion in a highly stylized and provocative manner.
