Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Bengal Files’ was finally released on 5 September after facing many controversies. But the film’s disadvantage of release on this day was that it faced big films like Baghi 4 to The Consuating.

As a result, the film did not get too much viewers on Opening Day and the film’s earnings were feared. However, due to Word of mouth and well reviews on the second day, the film’s earnings have risen.

Box office collection of ‘The Bengal Files’

This film of actors like Anupam Kher and Mithun Chakraborty was able to collect only Rs 1.75 crore on the first day. However, seeing the initial figures of the second day, it seems that the film will leave behind its first day’s earnings.

According to Sixelk, the film has earned Rs 2.7 crore by earning Rs 0.95 crore till 5:05 pm on the second day. Let us know that these figures are not yet final. They may change.

Budget and direction of ‘The Bengal Files’

This film has been directed by Vivek Agnihotri. He also directed a blockbuster movie like ‘The Kashmir Files’. Many actors like Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi and Anupam Kher worked in this film.

Vivek has also worked with these actors in ‘The Bengal Files’. In an interview to Money Control, Vivek had told the same actors to re -cast the same actors that he likes to work with the actors and not with the stars.

Talking about the budget of the film, it has been prepared in double the budget of 15 crore budget of ‘The Kashmir Files’ i.e. 30 crores. Let me tell you that even before the release of the film, it started facing allegations like divisive political film.

We prepared and arranged in this 5-star hotel by preparing overnight that the trailer of the film should be launched.

Please share this video and support us.

Vivek said in the video

In this video, Vivek says, friends, I have just reached Kolkata, as you know that we had decided that we will launch the trailer of ‘The Bengal Files’ in Kolkata. Because this film is based on Direct Action Day and tomorrow is August 16 and there can be no better day and place to launch it.

He further said, but, as soon as I reached here, I got a bad news. Our trailer was about to be launched in a very big cinema hall, it is a very big cinema chain of India. We had all the permission, so our entire team came here. But I have just come to know that the program has been canceled and it has been canceled because there is a lot of political pressure on them, they do not want any political dispute.

The bitter truth of the history of India

They have to work here, so it will not be right for them. And it is not in writing. I understand their compulsion, why any business house will do such a thing that will lead to any big trouble for them later. He further says, but the question is, who are those people, which is this political pressure, and which is this party which wants to suppress our voice. No one has seen the film, the trailer of the film which has passed the censor board is not being allowed to be released.

Earlier, so many FIRs were launched on us. When we reached here with all the arrangements, we are being told that we cannot do the program. This is a very sad thing. Are there two constitutions in our country, one of the whole country and one of Bengal. I am not going to lose, friends, we have decided and now whatever you have to do, we will launch it in Kolkata itself. I will tell you the place, you support us so that the bitter truth of the history of India comes in front of everyone.
