Bandar loses grip at the box office

The latest update from Sacnilk states that Bandar has managed to collect just ₹20 lakh on its 6th day of release. It is the lowest single-day haul for the film so far. The film opened at ₹50 lakhs, saw some growth on Saturday with ₹95 lakhs. Sunday's haul at ₹1 crore remains its highest so far. This brings the total India gross collections to ₹3.99 crore and total India net to ₹3.35 crore so far.

The story, drawing heavily from a real-life case involving a popular actor, revolves around Samar, a singer-actor whose career is on the decline. His life takes a shocking turn when he is suddenly arrested after a woman named Gayatri (Sapna Pabbi) files a rape complaint against him. What follows is a legal circus, with Samar, the 'bandar', forced to navigate one hurdle after another, even as he says there was consent. As the case gathers momentum, his personal life begins to fall apart, leaving him trapped in a system that appears to have already made up its mind.

Bobby's half-sister Esha Deol was also seen cheering for him at the film's special screening. She also penned a note urging the audience to catch the film in theatres and wrote, "You are in the best form ever! Undoubtedly the finest actor today. Enduring and vulnerable! Way to go, bhaiya."
