6. Bobby Deol’s Bandar Struggles Despite Positive Reviews
While critics and audiences have praised Bobby Deol’s performance in Anurag Kashyap’s Bandar, the appreciation has not translated into strong box-office numbers.
The film collected ₹2.34 crore in its opening weekend, with Sunday contributing ₹89 lakh. Despite modest collections, many viewers have praised the film’s gripping narrative and Bobby Deol’s emotionally vulnerable performance.
Industry observers believe positive word-of-mouth could help the film attract more viewers in the coming days.

He clarified that there are no issues between Hrithik Roshan, Aditya Chopra and the production team. According to him, the delay is simply because Hrithik is currently busy with commitments related to his recently launched production company.
