Animal

In the climax of “Animal,” Ranvijay finally confronts and kills his archenemy, Abrar Haque, after a brutal fight on an airstrip. Throughout the film, Ranvijay has been shaped by his tumultuous relationship with his father and the violence that has marked his life. His long-standing desire for recognition and love from his father drove much of his actions, often pushing him to the brink of his own moral boundaries. After Avrar’s death, Ranvijay returns home soaked in blood, proud to have avenged years of pain and betrayal. His father, Balbir Singh, finally admits to his failings as a parent, apologizing and asking for forgiveness, which provides Ranvijay with a cathartic release of years’ worth of frustration. This moment signifies a twisted kind of catharsis for Ranvijay—the violence he committed was his way of finally gaining approval and closing a deeply personal chapter of his life.

The film hints at an even darker future with the introduction of Abrar’s younger brother, who undergoes cosmetic surgery to look identical to Ranvijay. This lookalike, potentially a villain in the upcoming sequel, signals that the cycle of violence and vengeance is far from over. It is implied that Ranvijay’s family is vulnerable to this doppelganger’s threats, especially since Zoya, Ranvijay’s wife, is pregnant. The ending leaves viewers with a sense of unresolved tension, suggesting that Ranvijay’s demons and his family’s safety remain at risk, possibly paving the way for a “Part 2” where the battle for control and redemption continues.
