Animal has recorded an insane Monday as it records collections of 36-37 crore nett in Hindi and the all formats total will be going towards the 40 crore nett. It is one of the highest Mondays ever and if all holiday affect is taken out the films above it then it will be the highest Monday ever.

The collections of the film are 206 crore nett in four days and this Monday hold has set it up for a huge run till Christmas and the film could go anywhere. There have been a few of these big grossers this year but Animal is the one giving the best all round performance. Jawan and Pathan saw underperformance in Punjab, Central and Gujarat while Gadar 2 was less in West Bengal and South but with Animal its just mainly Tamil Nadu / Kerala which hardly matter and maybe can be called a little down in West Bengal even though collections are great. Its just they are not outstanding.

The biggest plus for the film is the way Maharashtra and Gujarat have come on board and it looks there will be no stopping this film in this circuit now and if this continues it will be the first film from the Hindi film industry which is outstanding in both the major areas of Mumbai and North India.

The holds are superb all over with some mass pockets only down around 25% while the bigger falls in multiplexes has come and is always there due to the drop in rates while even in multiplexes the admits remain pretty similar to the Friday. Basically the film has simply torn the box office apart and its the fourth one this year after Pathaan, Gadar 2 and Jawan.
