Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files Screened At The National Library Of India In Kolkata; Filmmaker Says, “Its A Matter Of Great Joy”

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. While the film has been released worldwide, exhibitors in West Bengal have refrained from screening it in theatres due to political pressure.

This led to a significant moment where the makers, the audience, and other authorities demanded their right from the government to allow the film to be screened in West Bengal. Now, the day has finally arrived, as the film has been screened at the National Library of India, Kolkata.
