Animal vs Sam Bahadur: Story Line
The storylines of both movies are very different. Animal explores the toxic relationship between a father and his son and how the son’s obsession to gain his father’s acceptance and love, in the process, turns into an animal-like killer.
The movie Animal features Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol. After the release of Brahmastra, Ranbir Kapoor is on the trail of housefuls, and it will be interesting if Animal can make a trademark for him or not.
On the other hand, Vicky Kaushal’s Sam Bahadur is based on the life of the first Field Marshal of India, Sam Manekshaw, who is regarded as the architect of India’s victory during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani war. Sam Bahadur is one of the very few movies that has been cleared by the censors, the Indian Army, without a single cut.
Sam Bahadur is Meghna Gulzar’s and Vicky Kaushal’s second collaboration after Raazi. Everyone has high expectations of Vickey Kaushal, as his performance in the trailer looked convincing.
Animal vs Sam Bahadur Reviews
Twitter users and critics like Sumit Kadel and Rohit Jaiswal praised Sam Bahadur, especially the performance of the lead actor Vicky Kaushal, who did justice to the role of the legendary Sam Manekshaw.
Vicky can be seen strolling close to his soldiers, who are arranged in a line while sporting an Army uniform. Vicky Kaushal brilliantly captures the essence of India’s inaugural Field Marshal.
He is seen standing his ground against several well-known figures, including the prime minister at the time, Indira Gandhi, and offering his fellow soldiers stern advice. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the movie is set.
On the other hand, Animal receives positive to mixed reviews. Kabir Singh and Arjun Reddy director Sandeep delivers a unique film to the fans, action and dialogues are powerful in the film. Ranbir Kapoor’s tumultuous relationship, for better or worse, with his father, played by Anil Kapoor, From a young age, Ranbir Kapoor’s character has looked up to his father, but their devotion has never been returned.
Any hint of compassion disappears from the room as Ranbir unleashes his inner beast. Ranbir’s situation only becomes worse once his father is shot. He simply wants to get revenge, and his main target is, wait for it, Bobby Deol. High-octane action scenes featuring Bobby Deol and Ranbir Kapoor shook the theatres.
