Mithun Chakraborty's 'The Bengal Files' Outperforms Predecessor at Box Office

As of 2025-09-08T06:12:23+00:00, the political drama The Bengal Files has concluded its opening weekend run at the Indian box office. The film, directed by Vivek Agnihotri and starring Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, and Anupam Kher, saw a fair start but picked up decently over the weekend, posting a decent number.

The good news is that the film did not decline after its initial release on September 5th and instead saw an upward trend each day. This is a positive sign, as the film managed to attract footfalls despite facing competition from Baaghi 4 and The Conjuring: Last Rites.

Interestingly, The Bengal Files has scored much higher than Agnihotri's previous political drama, The Tashkent Files. The Tashkent Files, the first installment of Agnihotri's "Files" trilogy, had earned 2.2 crores in its opening weekend, while the latest film made 202.27% higher earnings during the same period.

From its current position, if The Bengal Files maintains a firm grip on the weekdays, it is expected to reach a healthy sum of 13-15 crores during its opening week. This would be a significant achievement for the film, considering its niche subject matter and the strong competition it faced.
