Bandar Surges: Deol Film Beats Last Release's Opening
6 Jun
Summary
- Bandar earned an estimated 50 lakh net on its opening day.
- The film shows 100% higher day 1 earnings than Kashyap's last film.
- Positive word-of-mouth is driving attention despite limited shows.
Bandar, starring Bobby Deol, Sanya Malhotra, Sapna Pabbi, and Saba Azad, commenced its theatrical run on June 5, 2026, with a modest opening at the Indian box office. The film garnered an estimated 50 lakh net on its first day, a figure that aligns with predictions and is bolstered by overwhelmingly positive audience feedback.
Despite a limited release with under 1,500 shows nationwide due to competition, Bandar has attracted significant attention. Its performance shows a notable improvement, with day one earnings being 100% higher than Anurag Kashyap's last theatrical release, Nishaanchi, which opened to a mere 25 lakh net in 2025.
With unanimous positive reception, particularly from director Anurag Kashyap's camp, the crime thriller is expected to build momentum. Analysts anticipate Bandar will surpass Nishaanchi's total lifetime collection of 1.31 crore net by its second day, showcasing strong potential for growth over the weekend.
