Bandar Movie Finally Released After Festival Run
After attending film festivals all over the world, the movie has finally hit the theatres recently on June 5, 2026 and it got a good response from the audiences.
But sadly it did not turn out to be a good box office collection.
Even though the positive response from the first day itself will help the collections now onward, yes it will do decent business but not a huge impact.
Why Audiences Are Not Watching Bandar in Theatres?
The movie had a good star cast with a famous director and reviews are saying that Anurag Kashyap is back to his original form with his strongest film in years.
Bobby Deol delivered one of his career-best performances in a raw and powerful role.
But audiences are not showing much interest to watch the film in theatres.
Maybe due to nowadays separation of theatre watch movies and OTT watch movies with its concept, mass appeal audiences are considering this to watch on OTT.
The Great Grand Superhero Example
One more example was The Great Grand Superhero (2026).
This movie also got positive reviews but did not collect enough due to not having mass appeal and audiences considering this also to watch on OTT.
Bandar Movie Box Office Collection Analysis
Now coming to Bandar movie, it was made with a budget of 25cr (according to most of the trusted pages) and as per Sacnilk it collected around 3cr in first 3 days worldwide.
Now we can estimate its lifetime collection – it will do maximum 15cr and can be considered a theatrical flop.
But this tag will not define the movie.
There are a lot of examples where films that did not run in theatres got a huge response after entering OTT.
Now hoping that it is time for Bandar movie also.
Bandar Movie OTT Rights Confirmed
Now it is official that Bandar movie OTT rights were purchased by Zee5 because Zee Studios is the main backer and distributor of the film.
So it is confirmed news.
And in the usual pattern we can expect this movie in July month on OTT.
If makers get a better OTT amount there is a possibility we can get this movie on OTT in 1 month of the release or else as per the usual pattern the movie will release 2 months after the theatrical release.
