Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files has released in cinemas, bringing to light the events surrounding Direct Action Day on 16th August 1946 through a storyline that shifts between the past and present. Although the film has seen a worldwide release, theatres in West Bengal have not screened it, reportedly due to political pressure.
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri expresses joy over The Bengal Files’ screening at The National Library of India in Kolkata; says, “It is a matter of great joy”
This led to a significant moment where the makers, the audience, and other authorities demanded their right from the government to allow the film to be screened in West Bengal. Now, the day has finally arrived, as the film has been screened at The National Library of India, Kolkata.
As The Bengal Files was screened at The National Library of India, Kolkata, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri was seen talking about the same. He said, “It is a matter of great joy that this film is being screened at the National Library. However, it is also disheartening that, despite being set in Bengal, people of the state are being prevented from watching the movie.”
The Bengal Files, written and directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, is produced by Abhishek Agarwal, Pallavi Joshi, and Agnihotri himself. Presented by Tej Narayan Agarwal and I Am Buddha Productions, the film is the third installment in Agnihotri’s Files trilogy, following The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files. It was released in theatres on September 5, 2025.
