The Bengal Files Box Office Collection Day 13: The Bengal Files, which centers on the riots in Noakhali, is destined to fail at the box office. With Rs 1.35 crore, the political drama made its premiere. After a respectable increase over the weekend, it continued to rise steadily over the first week, ending at Rs 9.65 crore net. In the second weekend, the Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri-directed film brought in an additional Rs 2.85 crore. On the second Monday after its steep decline, it brought in Rs 39 lakh. On the second Tuesday when movie theaters subsidized ticket rates, the film didn't even demonstrate any growth. At the Indian box office, The Bengal Files has made a total of Rs 15.39 crore.

The Bengal Files faced competition from Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 4 and The Conjuring: Last Rites at the box office. The Hollywood horror franchise beat the other two movies at the box office. Despite positive word of mouth, Vivek Agnihotri's political drama has failed to leave a mark at the ticket booths. The box office failure is also the result of few screenings in theatres.
