Anurag KashyapThe gritty legal drama ‘Bandar’ starring Bobb Deol has been one of the most talked about Indian films of 2025 on the festival circuit. The dark thriller, which released on June 5, 2026, has taken a stealthy start at the domestic box office. Driven by intense performance from there Bobby Deolthe adult-rated film generated a lot of pre-release interest for its real-life inspirations and controversial narrative. However, Saturday’s early box office tracking indicates a sharp decline in theatrical momentum. With stiff competition from ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’ actor Varun Dhawan for screen slots, the Day 2 live collection reflects an uphill climb for the investigative crime thriller.
