Mumbai: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s latest movie, The Bengal Files, is having a slow run at the box office.
The film was released on Friday, September 5, 2025, alongside Tiger Shroff’s big action movie, Baaghi 4. This has made things difficult for The Bengal Files.
The Bengal Files Box Office Collection Day 6
On Day 6, Wednesday, September 10, 2025, the film is said to have collected around ₹1 crore. This small number shows that the film is struggling to attract a large audience during the weekdays.
The film’s total collection over six days is now close to the ₹10 crore mark.

Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files
The Bengal Files started with a very low opening day collection.
On Friday, it earned only ₹1.75 crore. This was a much smaller start compared to the director’s last blockbuster, The Kashmir Files. That film had a bigger opening and then grew a lot because of strong word-of-mouth.
The weekend saw some small growth for The Bengal Files. It collected ₹2.25 crore on Saturday and ₹2.75 crore on Sunday.
This brought its first-weekend total to ₹6.65 crore. The weekend numbers were a small hope for the film. But the weekdays have been tough. The collections on Monday and Tuesday were around ₹1.15 crore and ₹1.35 crore, respectively. The Day 6 collection of ₹1 crore is another sign of the film’s struggle.
The Reasons Behind the Bengal Files Numbers
Several reasons are being given for the film’s low performance. The first and biggest reason is the direct competition. Baaghi 4 and the Hollywood horror film The Conjuring: Last Rites have taken up many screens. This has made it hard for The Bengal Files to get enough shows in cinemas.
Another big factor is the ban in West Bengal. The director, Vivek Agnihotri, has said that the film is not being shown in cinemas in West Bengal. This is a big problem because the film is about a very sensitive topic related to that state. Not being able to show the film in a key market like West Bengal is hurting its box office numbers.
The film’s “A” certificate has also kept many families away. The reviews for the film have been mixed. Some people have praised the film for showing a difficult part of history. They have called it “brutal” and “unflinching.” But other critics have said the film is too long and the story is not well-structured. They have also pointed out that the film is heavy-handed and relies on shock value.
What Next for the Bengal Files?
The Bengal Files is the third and final film in Vivek Agnihotri’s “Files” trilogy. It follows The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files. The first two films became hits because of strong word-of-mouth. The Bengal Files needs a similar boost to do well.
The film has a strong cast of well-known actors. It stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, and Darshan Kumaar. The performances of these actors have been praised by many. Mithun Chakraborty, in particular, has been appreciated for his role.

The film’s makers will be hoping that the weekend brings a big increase in collections. But with the low numbers so far, it will be very difficult for the film to become a big hit. It will need a big jump in collections to cross the ₹15-20 crore mark and be a success at the box office.
