Mumbai, January 31 - After the glorious box office journey, Ranbir Kapoor-led Animal is proving to be a jackpot for Netflix with record viewership. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the action drama film was put on streaming on January 26, eight weeks after the theatrical release in all versions.

Animal, a topic of discussion on social media over its sensitive subject, scored a massive 20.8 million viewing hours from 6.2 million views in the first 3 days. It is easily the most-viewed post-theatrical release on Netflix in the opening weekend and it could become the most-viewed Indian film for the streamer.



The movie has comfortably beaten the viewership of the recently released Pan India movie Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, which has scored 10.30 million viewing hours from 3.5 million views in the first 10 days. Interestingly, Salaar was made available only after 4 weeks of theatrical run in South Indian languages. The Hindi version of the film will stream later.

Previously, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan was reportedly the most viewed post-theatrical Indian release on Netflix with approximately 15 million viewing hours in the first weekend, and now, Animal has taken the top spot by a very good margin in terms of viewing hours though the long runtime of the film has helped it in a big way.

Animal has been trending in the top 10 in 16 countries, including number 1 India, UAE, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Qatar, and Mauritius. Salaar, on the other hand, is trending in 9 countries in its second week in the top 10.
