Bandaa Singh Choudhary, Arshad Warsi’s latest solo project, was released on October 25th, Friday. The film is directed by Abhishek Saxena and produced by Arbaaz Khan. The film is about a man in Punjab, in the year 1984, Arshad Warsi plays the titular role in the film who fights with militants for his survival in the village.
The film was released with the lack of any Hindi film in the theatres except Navras Katha Collage that released on the same day. Still, the film opened with a negligible collection of 17 lacs. The next two days were no different with collections of 40 lacs and 24 lacs, despite being weekends. The film’s total collection has been 81 lacs in a total of three days as per Sacnilk.
The film had a budget of 20 crores. Considering the budget, the film’s collection is quite concerning as the film has not been able to recover even 5% of the amount of its budget. This becomes further concerning with the fact that the film is being screened by most of the premium screens and national theatres.
As has usually happened with the solo projects of Arshad Warsi, this project too turned out to be a flop. It doesn’t seem the film will be able to recover even half of its budget value. Especially with the upcoming big releases the task to shine in the box office will become further intense.
Although the film has a decent narrative and the cast’s performance seems good as well. But the film has failed to impress the audience leading into its disastrous run in the box office in its first weekend.
