The Bengal Files
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
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.
