The Bengal Files Box Office Collection Day 5: Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's most recent film, The Bengal Files, is another illustration of the power of word-of-mouth. It's possible that the intense political drama started slowly. The film did, however, show a minor uptick on Tuesday following a respectable Monday, which is not often the case. On Monday, the Bengal Files earned Rs 1.15 crores. But on a Tuesday, the film took off and made a solid jump, earning Rs 1.29 crores. The Bengal Files has earned Rs 9.19 crore so far.

The Bengal Files has been slow, and following a respectable weekend, there has been a noticeable slowdown. On Tuesday, September 9, 2025, the political drama had a 34.91% Hindi occupancy rate overall. With only 14.65% for morning shows, the movie got off to a poor start. In the afternoon, it gained 32.38%, and in the evening, it gained even more traction, reaching 39.39%. With 53.22% occupancy, night shows had the largest response.

The Bengal Files' release was fraught with controversy. Several multiplexes in West Bengal reportedly declined to show the movie because of claimed threats. The crew had strong reactions to this. According to a press statement, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), which represents 36 affiliated associations and numerous members in the film and television industries, is concerned about the 'undeclared ban' even as the film struggles to find theaters in West Bengal.

The portrayal of Gopal Patha, who was instrumental in defending Hindus during the 1946 riots, is another factor contributing to the controversy surrounding The Bengal Files, which many have labeled a propaganda film. His grandson has also voiced dissatisfaction. In a recent complaint against Agnihotri, he said that Patha is disrespected by The Bengal Files.
