If the trailer is any indication, Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal<\/em> will be one of the most violent films of 2023.<\/p>\n The violence is not just physical but also emotional, as Ranbir’s dysfunctional relationship with his onscreen father Anil Kapoor shows us.<\/p>\n Do we love violence in our films?<\/p>\n Joginder Tuteja<\/strong> looks at recent violent Bollywood films and how they did at the box office.<\/p>\n Baahubali – The Conclusion<\/em> [Hindi] <\/p>\n Baahubali: The Conclusion<\/em>, one of the biggest blockbusters, had a liberal dose of violence, as Prabhas’ Baahubali fought to avenge his tortured mother against his cruel uncle, Rana Daggubati’s Bhallaladeva.<\/p>\n The scene where Baahubali beheads a man still sends shock waves.<\/p>\n Bodies drop dead like nine pins as we get introduced to all kinds of weaponry when the climax takes place on a battlefield.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n KGF – Chapter 2<\/em> [Hindi] <\/p>\n ‘Violence violence violence – I hate violence’ is what Yash claims in KGF – Chapter 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n Yet, his acts in the film are anything but non-violent, as he brings out hundreds of AK-47s to take on the menacing Sanjay Dutt.<\/p>\n One of the most violent films in India remains one of the biggest box office successes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Padmaavat<\/em> <\/p>\n Ranveer Singh went all out to unleash his wild side as Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat<\/em>.<\/p>\n He pursued Deepika Padukone’s titular queen and killed her husband Shahid Kapoor in bloody battle.<\/p>\n But the climax where Deepika and all the women in the kingdom commit jauhar<\/em> is perhaps even more spine-chilling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kabir Singh<\/em> <\/p>\n The violence here was not as physical as it was emotional.<\/p>\n Kabir Singh<\/em> seemed to glorify gender-based violence and justify Kabir Singh’s — played by Shahid Kapoor — abusive relationship with his girlfriend Preeti (Kiara Advani).<\/p>\n His toxic masculinity was so alarming, it started a lot of conversations at the time of its release.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RRR<\/em> [Hindi] <\/p>\n S S Rajamouli’s RRR<\/em> was peppered with violence, as NTR Jr fought with a tiger and Ram Charan battled hundreds of protestors.<\/p>\n The violence wasn’t gory, but there was enough of blood.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Kashmir Files<\/em> <\/p>\n The violence in The Kashmir Files<\/em> was terrifying, as Director Vivek Agnihotri showed chilling moments of a genocide. The climax was particularly brutal when a woman’s body was sliced in a saw mill.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rowdy Rathore<\/em> <\/p>\n The posters and trailers of Rowdy Rathore<\/em> screamed, ‘Don’t Angry Me’ and Director Prabhu Deva showed that in the film too.<\/p>\n Whenever Akshay Kumar got angry, he would not hold back his punches.<\/p>\n If villain Nasser’s army of goons spread terror in the village, Rowdy Rathore responded the same way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Agneepath<\/em> (New) <\/p>\n When Amitabh Bachchan’s Agneepath<\/em> released in 1990, it was among the most violent Hindi films.<\/p>\n When Director Karan Malhotra gave us his version of the film in 2012, and cast Hrithik Roshan, the violence got worse.<\/p>\n In fact, the sheer presence of Rishi Kapoor was frightening, as he unleashed terror while Sanjay Dutt was just pure evil.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ghajini<\/em> <\/p>\n South directors know just how to present violence on screen, and A R Murugadoss managed it perfectly when he remade his Tamil hit Ghajini<\/em> with Aamir Khan.<\/p>\n The sequence of Asin’s murder was terrifying, and when Aamir avenged her, the violence went up a notch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pushpa<\/em> (Hindi) <\/p>\n ‘<\/em>Pushpa naam sunke <\/em>flower samjhe kya? Flower nahi, fire hai main, Jhukunga nahi<\/em>.’<\/p>\n When Allu Arjun says these lines in Telugu, you know it’s a bomb waiting to explode.<\/p>\n Pushpa<\/em> unleashes a series of events, where one violent sequence follows another at an alarming pace.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
