Animal on OTT has caused a massive commotion, surpassing all expectations. Since its release on Netflix on the 26th, it has accumulated an astonishing 20 million hours of viewing time in just three days, setting a new record. Additionally, the movie has garnered an impressive 6 million and 2 lakh views on OTT, a feat never before achieved by an Indian film. The previously popular Salaar, which held the top spot, has now dropped to third place in Telugu and has completely disappeared from the top ten in dubbed versions in other languages.

These statistics have been officially reported by Netflix. The popularity of Animal is expected to persist for weeks, as many viewers who missed it in theaters are now catching up on their smart screens. The ongoing debates, criticisms, and responses surrounding the movie are nothing out of the ordinary, but director Sandeep Reddy Vanga has chosen not to engage with them. Amidst the Animal Mania, there are fans who have noticed that Ranbir Kapoor consistently refers to Anil Kapoor as "papa" throughout the film. When a fan created a video showcasing Ran Vijay saying the word an astonishing 196 times, the production house acknowledged it with a tweet.

Once the reigning champion of Netflix viewership, Animal Domination has swiftly taken over the streaming platform in just its first week. The overwhelming popularity of Animal on OTT is truly indescribable.
