Bobby Deol’s Bandar Struggles At Box Office, Midweek Numbers Crash

Anurag Kashyap’s latest film Bandar, starring Bobby Deol, is struggling badly at the box office.

According to early trade estimates, the film reportedly collected only around ₹10 lakh on Day 6, showing a sharp drop in momentum during the weekday run.

The film had generated strong curiosity online because of the Anurag Kashyap-Bobby Deol combination, with many expecting an intense comeback-style performance from Bobby after Animal.

But despite the buzz, audiences have not turned up in big numbers.

Trade analysts say the film’s dark tone, niche storytelling, and limited mass appeal may have affected its theatrical performance.

The weak collections have now raised questions about whether content-driven experimental films can survive in theatres without strong word-of-mouth support.

For Bobby Deol fans, however, the actor’s performance continues to receive appreciation online even as the box office numbers disappoint.

The film’s fate now depends heavily on weekend recovery and digital streaming performance.

Why This Matters

Theatres today are becoming increasingly difficult spaces for smaller experimental films.

Gen-Z audiences consume cinema differently now — through reels, memes, OTT, fan edits, and viral moments.

A good performance alone may no longer guarantee box office success.
