Release

Justin Rao from The Hitavada gave it one star, and said, "It tries to be everything in the end and loses its own track on which it established itself. The movie has 100 shots of bullets but sadly not a single shot of brilliance."[3] According to Box Office India, Bandook fails completely at boxoffice and termed as disaster.[4]
