A user said, “#TheBengalFiles a must watch for every Indian. A very important part of our history which was not known to us showcased brilliantly by @vivekagnihotri & team Wonderful acting by #PallaviJoshi #MithuChakraborty @AnupamPKher and other actors.”

Another said, “Just watched #thebengalfiles Rating: 4.5/5 This movie is powerful and emotional. The first half builds up with strong storytelling, and the second half hits hard with courtroom drama and a shocking climax with Emotions, speechless moments, Dark Chapter of Bengal, Truths with Full of Violence Actors have done an amazing job, especially the lead — full of fire . Direction and music keep you hooked, though some parts feel a bit dialogue-heavy.”

A tweet read, “#TheBengalFiles isn’t just a film, it’s a mirror. A mirror that shows how Bengal’s blood-soaked past was buried not by chance, but by design. Congress thrived on selective history. Intellectuals romanticized tyranny. Media sold silence as “secularism.” This movie makes you furious not only at what happened, but at those who still defend the lie. @vivekagnihotri @AbhishekOfficl.”

Another tweet read, “(4/5) #TheBengalFiles A hard-hitting take on Direct Action Day (1946) Raw, intense & unforgettable. Brilliant performances + powerful storytelling = MUST WATCH #TheBengalFilesReview #VivekAgnihotri.”
