The Hindi version of Animal outperformed Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which took in ₹111.73 crore nett in the first two days of its release, with an astounding ₹113.12 crore nett, according to a report by Sacnilk.com.
On the list of the fastest INR100 crore earners in Hindi film, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan holds the top rank with an incredible ₹123 crore nett in India over the same two-day period.

According to Hindustan Times, moviegoers have been enthralled with the competition between these two Bollywood heavyweights for supremacy at the box office, with fans actively following the performance of each movie.
Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 and Yash’s KGF: Chapter 2 have joined the ranks of these cinematic heavyweights in the top five fastest INR100 crore Hindi films. Both films reached the coveted milestone in the first two days of their respective releases. With ₹101 crore nett on Diwali 2023, Tiger 3 holds the fourth position, while Yash’s masterpiece, which was released in two days, comes in fifth place with ₹100.74 crore nett.
Remarkably, Gadar 2, the much anticipated follow-up to Sunny Deol’s 2001 smash film Gadar, crossed the ₹100 crore nett mark in India in just three days after its August 2023 release. Due to its remarkable box office performance, the movie brought in ₹135.18 crore nett by the end of the third day.
