The Bengal Files Day 1 collection: Vivek Agnihotri`s film has a slow start

Vivek Agnihotri`s The Bengal Files, starring Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, Simratt Kaur, Eklavya Sood, Darshan Kumar, and others, finally released on Friday. The movie has largely received positive reviews, and the word of mouth is also good. However, at the box office, the film has taken a slow start. Vivek Agnihotri`s films are known to be horses for a long race. It must be noted that the film is banned in West Bengal

The Bengal Files box office collection

According to reports, the movie on its first day has collected approximately Rs 1.75 crore. Although it may not be a great number, it is not a bad amount for a film of its scale. It is not mass movie, but is based on a true incident, and has a lot of violence.

With that The Bengal Files has failed to beat The Kashmir Files at the box office on its day one. Released in 2022, The Kashmir Files had collected Rs 3.55 crore on its first day, but it showed a huge jump later and went on to collect Rs 252.25 crore at the box office.

About The Bengal Files

The Bengal Files tells the hidden truth of the Direct Action Day that happened on 16th August 1946. The film is shocking the audience. While the film reveals the truth, it has struck the right chord with the audience and opened to great word of mouth and excellent reviews. Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri`s films have often witness a surge over time through strong word of mouth.

The Bengal Files is the last of the trilogy. While Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri`s The Tashkent Files had opened at around Rs 30 Lakhs, it went on to complete 100 days. Similarly, The Kashmir Files had opened at Rs 3 Cr. and went on to collect Rs 300 Cr in 80 days, standing tall at the box office. The Bengal Files  is expected to follow the same trajectory and witness a significant boost over the weekend and the coming week. 

The Bengal Files is written and directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal, Pallavi Joshi and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. The film, presented by Tej Narayan Agarwal and  I Am Buddha Productions, is part of Vivek’s Files trilogy, which includes The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files.
