The reviews of Animal and Sam Bahadur are out in the open. It’s no surprise that Sandeep Reddy Vanga,having made movies revolving around boys and their toys has come up with a similar central character, saddled this time around with serious daddy issues. What is surprising, however, is just how ‘Animal’ ricochets off target after having raced full-tilt to the mid-point: if it had come to an end at the interval, it would have made its point. Vicky Kaushal, on the other hand, wins you over by being spot on, eyes a-twinkle, moustache a-bristle. It’s hard to play a character so closely without becoming a caricature, but he becomes Sam Bahadur.
