Sharmila Tagore Says One Cannot Rubbish Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal’ Despite Its Misogyny

New Delhi: Sharmila Tagore is not a big fan of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’, which was one of the biggest hits of 2023 despite being labelled as misogynistic and brutally violent by a section of viewers.

However, the veteran actor acknowledges that the film had a lot of impact after its release. In a new interview on the YouTube channel Dil Se Kapil Sibal, she shared how the film had violence but beyond it, there was also misogyny. She went on to say that one must not ignore the success of the film but try to ‘engage’ with it instead to see why it connected with the audience in the first place.

During the conversation, Sharmila brought up the film’s name and said, “There was a film called Animal recently… beyond violence, there was misogyny. But there were a lot of women in the audience who said, ‘I want somebody to love me like that.’ Any film that runs a lot, you cannot really rubbish it. You have to engage with it, try and understand it that what exactly is happening here,” Hindustan Times reported.
