The Bengal Files: First Reviews Call It Powerful

Vivek Agnihotri’s latest political thriller, The Bengal Files, is already making waves overseas ahead of its India release on September 5, 2025. The film is the third and final part of his Files trilogy, after The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files.

The movie stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumar, Simrat Kaur, Namoshi Chakraborty, and Saswata Chatterjee.

Strong international reviews

Foreign audiences have called the film “gut-wrenching,” “hard-hitting,” and “a wake-up call.” Many praised its recreation of Bengal’s violent past, saying it brings to light events that have long been ignored.

One reviewer wrote: “The Bengal Files is not just a film; it’s a wake-up call to remember a history that has been silenced for too long.” Another called it “a gripping film that shows the horrors faced by Bengali Hindus—must watch for all Indians.”

Viral buzz and controversy

Clips from screenings have gone viral, with fans praising Agnihotri for tackling sensitive history. At the same time, critics argue that the online hype lacks balance.
