The biggie is now on OTT. Animal was easily one of the buzziest and most polarizing films of last year, nothing new for a Vanga film. If any film is making headlines not only for cast, and glamour but also for social issues then you know it is a crazy ride.
Regardless, Animal received a highly divided response. Either people were loving it or hating it with full passion. There was hardly a sane population that appreciated the film for its technical aspects and bashed it for its problematic elements.
But, at the end of the day, it was an enormous success at the box office. It went on nearly 1000 crores which is indeed a big deal.
So, the film is now streaming on Netflix India. If you remember then the whole OTT campaign of Animal started days after the theatrical release. The director Sandeep Reddy Vanga was taking care of those talks himself. There were talks of extended scenes that were not shown in the theatrical version.
The rumours said that the film would have an extra 30 minutes in the OTT version. Some reports said that it would even feature a kiss scene of Ranbir Kapoor and Bobby Deol.
Where are they?
Well, they do not exist.
There are no extended scenes in the film. Mainly because Netflix took a decision to not play any uncensored version of any film on their app. This decision will help Netflix to avoid any unwanted legal battles.
To sum it up, Animal is not playing any extended cut. It is precisely the same film that you might have seen on the big screens.
But, Netflix is playing a gimmick over here. They are showing a play duration of 3 Hours 24 Minutes.
But when you actually play, it is only 3 Hours 21 Minutes 17 Seconds.
Yes, so if it is a gimmick or glitch is something only Netflix can answer. Even for Jawan, the extended cut was only a gimmick but at least there were few extra scenes nonetheless. Here, it is nothing.
But for common users it is disappointing news. There is no extended cut of Animal available on Netflix India.
