Laapataa Ladies vs Animal: Who would have ever imagined that Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies one day would beat Ranbir Kapoor's Animal? Both the movies are poles apart. They didn't have any theatrical release rivalry, nor were they ever pitted against each other until now. Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies, which released in theatres on March 1, 2024, was hailed immensely for being a pathbreaking cinema, but the film unfortunately didn't have a bumper opening or box office collection, although it did collect decent money in theaters.

On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, which released on December 1, 2023 in theatres, was severely bashed for being misogynistic and glorifying crime, but the film broke many box office records. Laapataa Ladies and Animal's box office collections are a classic example of how Indian cinema-goers are more inclined towards masala and action films rather than simple feel-good content. However, it seems the same sector is definitely not on OTT, as viewers have clearly chosen Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies over Ranbir Kapoor's Animal.

According to ScoopWhoop, Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies, which released on Netflix on April 26, 2024, has already surpassed the viewership of Ranbir Kapoor's Animal, which released on Netflix on January 26, 2024.
