December is a relatively quiet month for Peacock with two other notable premieres: the streaming debut of The Exorcist: Believer, as well as the second…

Albeit the teaser, trailer, or the pulsating background scores, everything we’ve seen so far coming from Bollywood’s latest action thriller Animal, has caused a stir and how.
