Animal Music Hits A High Note

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Animal" is a film shrouded in controversy. While Ranbir Kapoor's starring role has fueled box office numbers exceeding ₹900 crores, the film itself has been lambasted online for its portrayal of violence, misogyny, and questionable narrative. Sandeep Reddy Vanga, no stranger to criticism after his "Arjun Reddy" project, has further ignited online ire by attempting to defend the film on social media, becoming a target for trolls.

However, a curious disconnect emerges when examining the film's music. Unlike the critical discourse, the soundtrack reigns supreme, with every song becoming a chart-topping phenomenon. In a remarkable feat, the "Animal" album has surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, becoming the fastest film soundtrack to achieve this milestone on the platform.

This musical success adds an intriguing layer to the "Animal" story. While the film itself faces intense scrutiny, its soundtrack resonates deeply with audiences, demonstrating the power of music to transcend controversy and connect with listeners on an emotional level. It raises questions about the subjective nature of art and how different aspects of a film can evoke vastly contrasting reactions.
