Bobby Deol continues his powerful comeback in Bollywood with the release of the official trailer for his upcoming film Bandar. The much-awaited trailer has finally arrived after weeks of speculation, teasers, and posters — and it is already generating major excitement among fans across social media.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, the film promises a gripping mix of crime, mystery, prison drama, emotional tension, and dark humor. With its unique storytelling style and Bobby Deol’s never-seen-before avatar, Bandar is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about Bollywood releases of 2026.
Bandar Trailer Reveals a Dark and Twisted Story
The nearly two-and-a-half-minute Bandar trailer immediately pulls viewers into a chaotic and unpredictable world filled with scandal, crime allegations, emotional breakdowns, and shocking twists.

However, the story takes a dramatic turn when one woman’s name unexpectedly resurfaces, triggering a serious criminal investigation that changes Sameer’s life completely.
Within moments, the confident superstar seen earlier in the trailer suddenly finds himself trapped behind prison bars.
Bobby Deol’s Most Distinctive Role Yet
After delivering memorable performances in films like Animal and The Bandits of Bollywood, Bobby Deol appears to have taken on one of the boldest and most emotionally layered roles of his career in Bandar.
In the trailer:
Bobby shifts between charm and vulnerability effortlessly
