Song Surprises in #Animal: Breaking Musical Norms

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s next after Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh, Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal has already entered the mighty ₹500 crores club after it got released to a grand opening on December 1st. While people are talking about the misogynistic, wild and abusive content of the film, here is a think that is less discussed- the music of the film.

  1. Silent Wedding Song: There’s a unique scene in the film where the lead characters get married with a song, but here’s the twist – no musical instruments are used, just vocals. It’s around 3 minutes long, and it’s so captivating that many people might not even notice the absence of instruments.
  2. Emotional Fight Climax: The climax of a fight is backed by a beautiful and emotional melody, “saari duniya jalaadenge.” It adds a unique touch to the intense action, conveying a son’s promise to his father to protect him at any cost.
  3. Arjan Vailly: A song during the interval fight draws inspiration from Sikh history, specifically from Arjan Singh Nalva in the 1800s, known for expanding the Sikh empire and saving many people. This song resonates with Sikh audiences due to its historical references and words reflecting Sikh valour.

Additionally, the director, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, incorporates songs from various sources as background music, such as remixes of Roja songs, the Iranian song Jamal Kudu, and Dolby Walya, a Maratha song.

AnimalMovie could also be considered a musical, featuring a total of 8 songs and 2 background songs (Roja remix and Jamal Kudu). Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s unique musical choices and knowledge in the field contribute to the rich musical experience in his films.
