Bandar
Samar (Bobby Deol) is a washed-up TV star who’s charged with rape by a former casual partner, and must spend time as a desperate undertrial. Anurag Kashyap’s Bandar, written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee, is a cutting, coldly effective piece of filmmaking. It’s a harsh prison film, with less focus on official brutality and more on the terrible conditions and dangers of Indian jails. The excellent cast includes Saba Azad, Sapna Pabbi, Indrajith Sukumaran, Raj B. Shetty, Ankush Gedam, Sukant Goel, Durgesh Kumar and Aamir Aziz. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival and had a theatrical run in India this year. (Zee5)
