There was great anticipation surrounding the release of Bobby Deol's film 'Bandar'. It generated significant buzz before its release; however, the film's actual start was underwhelming. It has now been three days since the film's release; here is a look at its Sunday box office collection.

**'Bandar's' Initial Collection**

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, 'Bandar' failed to make a significant impact on its opening day at the box office. By the time this report was filed, the film had collected ₹50 lakh on day one. Despite it being the weekend, the film earned ₹95 lakh on Saturday, its second day.

**'Bandar's' Box Office Collection**

Even with the weekend advantage, the film did not see substantial earnings on Sunday, its third day. As of the time of writing, the film has earned ₹51 lakh, bringing its total collection to ₹1.96 crore. However, these figures could rise as the night progresses. Looking at the three-day collection, the film has not had a strong start at the box office.

**Competition from Other Films**

Several other films are currently entertaining audiences in theaters. Among them, Ram Charan's recently released 'Peddi' has made a powerful start at the box office, crossing the ₹100 crore mark within just three days of release. Additionally, the film 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai'—starring Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde—is also screening in theaters. These films could pose a challenge for 'Bandar'.

**What is the story of 'Bandar'?**

The film depicts the life of Sameer Mehra (Bobby Deol), a former TV superstar who is now trying to get his career and life back on track. He has a partner, Khushi (Saba Azad), with whom he shares a stable relationship.

The story takes a dramatic turn when Sameer's ex-girlfriend, Gayatri (Sapna Pabbi), re-enters his life and accuses him of rape. This sets off a chaotic chain of events—a 'Bandar Naach' (monkey dance/chaos).
