The latest update from Sacnilk states that Bandar has managed to collect a mere ₹89 lakhs on its third day of release. Bandar is a gritty, character-driven film which has its own niche audience, so the film was not expected to open to big numbers in the first place. In such a case, positive word of mouth on social media is always of great help, and Bandar fortunately has that. The film opened at ₹50 lakhs, saw some growth on Saturday with ₹95 lakhs. This brings total India gross collections to ₹2.79 crore and total India net to ₹2.34 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.
