Anurag Kashyap's new film 'Bandar', starring Bobby Deol, has been a hot topic ever since it hit theatres. Despite its raw and intense storyline, the film didn't get the opening it was hoping for at the box office. Even after three days, its earnings are still quite low. While critics and some viewers have praised Bobby Deol's performance, this praise hasn't translated into ticket sales. According to the latest data from Sacnilk, the film's growth has been extremely slow, and it's still struggling to pick up pace.

Box Office Update: 'Bandar' Still Slow on Day 3

For the first time in three days, 'Bandar' managed to cross the ₹1 crore mark in a single day. As per Sacnilk's report, the film earned ₹1 crore on its third day. This comes after it made ₹50 lakh on its first day and ₹95 lakh on its second. This means the collection only grew by a mere 5.3% on the third day. In three days, the film's net collection in India has reached about ₹2.45 crore, with a gross collection of ₹2.94 crore. Although the film is getting positive word-of-mouth on social media, it's not yet pulling crowds into the theatres.
