Index
The story revolves around a young couple whose peaceful weekend at an ancestral farmhouse turns into a nightmare when a vengeful demon named Kabanda possesses one of them. Kabanda opened to a very modest response at the box office. Being a content-driven Gujarati film with horror and mythological elements, it received limited initial footfalls.
The film is currently struggling to attract audiences and is heavily dependent on word-of-mouth for any improvement in its run. On the worldwide front, Kabanda has seen negligible overseas collections in its opening days. Its performance is primarily restricted to Gujarat and select Gujarati-speaking audiences.

Our Review
Kabanda is a mythological horror thriller that attempts to explore the theme of ancient vengeance and supernatural possession. The film follows a couple whose weekend getaway turns terrifying when a demon named Kabanda possesses one of them. While the core idea has potential, the execution lacks the required intensity and atmospheric tension.
The performances by Shyam Nair and Tarjanee Bhadla are average, and the supporting cast fails to add much value. Director Rehan Chaudhary tries to build suspense but struggles with pacing and effective scares. The film often relies on jump scares rather than genuine horror, making it less impactful. Overall, Kabanda ends up as a below-average attempt in the horror genre.
At the box office, Kabanda has opened very poorly since its release on 29 May 2026. The film collected approximately ₹0.35 crore gross on its first day and has continued to register low numbers over the next two days. In three days, it has barely crossed ₹0.90 crore gross in India. Being a small-scale Gujarati horror film with limited marketing, it has failed to create any meaningful buzz.
The collections are significantly below expectations, and the film is clearly heading towards a flop verdict. Looking ahead, Kabanda is unlikely to recover its budget theatrically. It may have a slightly better run on digital platforms, but its overall theatrical journey appears very limited.
