The Bengal Files Box Office Collection Day 6: The Bengal Files, the most recent and last installment of Vivek Agnihotri's contentious Files trilogy, had a mediocre debut week at the box office. The movie lifted its total India net collection to Rs 10.25 crore after earning Rs 1 crore on Wednesday. With a respectable opening of Rs 1.75 crore on Friday, the Bengal Files saw a little increase in revenue over the weekend, earning Rs 2.25 crore on Saturday (28.57% rise) and Rs 2.75 crore on Sunday (22.22% rise). According to Sacnilk's most recent statistics, Monday's collection fell to Rs 1.15 crore, a 58.18% decrease, while Tuesday saw a little comeback with Rs 1.35 crore.

The Bengal Files intends to reveal the purported genocide of Hindus in West Bengal following Partition, a topic the filmmakers contend has been neglected in historical accounts. Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Simrat Kaur, and Darshan Kumar are just a few of the film's strong cast members.

The Bengal Files has been controversial ever since it came out, especially in West Bengal, where a number of multiplexes reportedly refused to show it due to security concerns. In response, actor and co-producer Pallavi Joshi wrote President Droupadi Murmu an open letter requesting action to safeguard free speech.

Who Plays Whom In The Bengal Files?

Pallavi Joshi plays the elderly and iconic Bharati Banerjee, Mithun Chakraborty plays the eerie and quirky Madman Chatur, and Darshan Kumar plays Shiva Aloke Pandit, a CBI investigator sent to uncover the past. Saswata Chatterjee plays a politician from Murshidabad, and Anupam Kher plays Mahatma Gandhi, which strengthens the depiction of historical conflicts in Vivek Agnihotri's directorial - The Bengal Files.

The Bengal Files' emphasis on obscure or little-known periods of Indian history appears to have resonated, particularly with Southern audiences. The Bengal Files had occupancy rates of 38% in Chennai and 31% in Bengaluru, compared to 18 and 17% in Mumbai and Delhi-NCR, respectively.
