They are not able to explain or even process how this film with excessive violence and adults-only rating has chances of becoming the biggest grosser in the history of Hindi cinema! Bollywood Hungama, in this special feature, lists out the six myths that Animal has burst forever and six lessons that the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer has taught the entire Bollywood. 1.
