About the film

As per an excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film, “In the end, The Bengal Files is less a film and more a statement. It has power in its performances and moments where the weight of history hits hard, but the length and indulgence make it an exhausting watch. If you go in, go in for Pallavi Joshi and Darshan Kumaar because without them, the film would collapse under the burden of its own intent.”

The Bengal Files stars Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, Simrat Kaur, Darshan Kumar, Anupam Kher, Saswata Chatterjee, Puneet Issar, Sourav Das, Eklavya Sood, and Rajesh Khera in key roles. It is written and directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal, Pallavi Joshi and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. Produced by Zee Studios, presented by Tej Narayan Agarwal & I Am Buddha, it is a part of Vivek’s Files trilogy that includes The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files.
