FWICE Opposes Undeclared BAN On Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files In Theatres Across West Bengal

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files has finally hit the big screens, standing tall as one of the boldest films ever made in Indian cinema. The narrative moves seamlessly between the past and the present, uncovering the harsh truths of Direct Action Day on 16th August 1946. 

FWICE Oppose Ban On The Bengal Files 

While the film has been released worldwide, exhibitors are refraining from screening it in theatres due to political pressure. However, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) is now opposing this undeclared ban on the screening of the film across West Bengal.

The FWICE has expressed deep concern over the undeclared ban on The Bengal Files in theatres across West Bengal. They have criticized theatre owners in the state for their role in enforcing this ban. The organization has urged the government to take immediate action and ensure that the film is screened across West Bengal without obstruction or disturbance. They further stated that such actions, whether direct or indirect, strike at the very heart of the constitutional right to freedom of expression and undermine the creative liberty of filmmakers who dedicate their talent, resources, and hard work to bring important stories to the screen.

The FWICE strongly appeals to the government to take due cognizance of this undeclared ban and to ensure, through all necessary measures, that the film is screened across West Bengal without any obstruction or disturbance.

The Bengal Files is written and directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal, Pallavi Joshi and Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. The film, presented by Tej Narayan Agarwal & I Am Buddha Productions, is part of Vivek’s Files trilogy, which includes The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files. The film released in theatres on September 5, 2025.
