Followers have been promptly disenchanted upon checking the runtime on the streaming platform when Animal was launched on the OTT platform on Friday. The length remained at 3 hours and 24 minutes, similar to its theatrical model, leaving viewers hoping for the promised ‘prolonged reduce’ disheartened.
Not solely that, when viewers witnessed the climactic showdown on the airstrip between Ranbir Kapoor‘s protagonist Rannvijay and Bobby Deol‘s antagonist Abrar, their disappointment deepened. This was as a result of absence of the promised ‘kiss’ between the 2 actors, as Sandeep had assured the viewers following the theatrical launch.

In an interview with Galatta Plus, Sandeep shared that there was a deliberate second the place Bobby was to kiss Ranbir on the cheek, conveying, ‘Bhai, I didn’t even spend at some point with my father,’ adopted by opening his zip. Though initially shot and regarded very good, Sandeep opted to take away the kiss, feeling it diluted the impression of the following emotional second. He defined that Bobby’s expression with a smirk and a tear rolling down his cheek was a extra highly effective cinematic selection. Sandeep assured followers that the deleted kiss scene could be a part of the prolonged reduce accessible on OTT.
Quite a few customers on X (previously Twitter) voiced their disappointment relating to the absence of the promised prolonged reduce. One person commented, “Animal prolonged reduce is a rip-off lol. Unique runtime 3H23M. Netflix runtime is 3H24M (eyeroll emojis).” One other expressed, “The place is the prolonged reduce model of Animal on Netflix? It was alleged to be a 3h44m runtime, proper?”
