Trailer Review: More Explosive & Dark Than Animal?

The trailer of Bandar has arrived with a strong impact, drawing attention across Bollywood circles. The film, featuring Bobby Deol and directed by Anurag Kashyap, promises a dark and intense experience. Early reactions suggest it could be one of the boldest releases of 2026.

The trailer presents a violent and psychologically heavy narrative. Many viewers are comparing it to Animal, with some even calling Bandar darker. The tone feels raw and grounded, with a focus on realism rather than stylised action.

The prison sequences shown in the trailer stand out for their intensity. Anurag Kashyap appears to focus on a gritty and uncomfortable atmosphere. This approach creates a lasting impact and adds depth to the storytelling.

Bobby Deol’s transformation has become a major talking point. After the success of Animal, expectations were high from his next role. In Bandar, he appears intense, emotionally complex, and physically commanding.

Anurag Kashyap’s direction is also receiving attention. Many believe he has returned to his strong storytelling style seen in films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Black Friday. This film could mark an important phase in his career.

Social media reactions to the trailer have been largely positive. Viewers are praising its bold tone and gripping visuals. Some are already calling it one of the most impactful trailers in recent times.

The supporting cast includes Sanya Malhotra, Sapna Pabbi, Saba Azad, Raj Shetty, and Indrajith Sukumaran. Their presence suggests a layered narrative with multiple strong characters.

If the film matches the intensity shown in the trailer, Bandar could emerge as one of the darkest and most talked about Hindi films of the year.
