Anurag Kashyap's film 'Bandar' premiered in theatres today, with most multiplexes scheduling its first shows after 1 pm. This strategic release aims to maximize its theatrical run despite facing tough competition from numerous Hindi, English, and regional films. The producers targeted a limited release on 500-600 screens, with multiplex chains accommodating their request for afternoon slots. However, trade analyst Yusuf Sheikh noted that the film received fewer screens than anticipated due to the overwhelming number of releases this week, particularly the Marathi film 'Deool Band 2', which has garnered around ₹50 crore at the box office in just two weeks. Other notable releases include Ram Charan's 'Peddi', which has achieved a ₹100 crore worldwide collection, and Varun Dhawan's 'Hai Jawani Toh Isha Hona Hai'. 'Bandar' features a diverse cast, including Bobby Deol and Sanya Malhotra, and is produced by Nikhil Dwivedi's Saffron Magicworks in collaboration with Zee Studios.
