Press Release
GEEK PICTURES Announces Japanese Release of ANIMAL on February 13, 2026 — Poster Visual and Scene Stills Unveiled
GEEK PICTURES will release the Indian feature film ANIMAL in Japan on Friday, February 13, 2026, distributed in collaboration with Geek Pictures Pvt. Ltd.
ANIMAL is a shocking, large-scale violent action film that powerfully depicts the life of a man who, burdened by his family’s fate, descends into violence.
In India, the film recorded the highest opening-day box office performance of any Hindi-language release in 2023, while its uncompromising depictions of violence and its dark-hero protagonist living by a distorted sense of justice sparked intense debate and divided opinions.
As controversy fueled enthusiasm, the film went on to become a massive global hit, grossing over 15 billion yen worldwide.
At the 69th Filmfare Awards, it won a leading five awards, including Best Actor, and at the 24th International Indian Film Academy Awards, it dominated with nine awards, including Best Picture.
With a sequel already in production, ANIMAL has emerged as a blockbuster series ushering in a new era of Indian cinema—surpassing even Baahubali and RRR in impact.

◾️Synopsis
Love or madness—no one can stop this man.
A starving beast, burdened with his family’s fate, sets out on an endless path of revenge.
Ranvijay is born as the eldest son of Balbir, a powerful steel tycoon in Delhi.
Starved for affection from his work-obsessed father, he is sent to a boarding school in the United States following a certain incident.
Years later, Ranvijay returns to India to attend Balbir’s 60th birthday celebration, only to clash with his brother-in-law and be rejected by his father.
Devastated, Ranvijay elopes and marries his childhood friend Geetanjali, returning with her to the United States.
Eight years later, upon learning that Balbir has been attacked, Ranvijay rushes back to Delhi, swearing revenge.
He gathers outlaws and relentlessly corners his enemies, but his actions spiral out of control.
As the existence of a powerful nemesis comes to light, Ranvijay is driven deeper into an inescapable cycle of vengeance.
