This Friday witnesses a box office clash between 'Baaghi 4' and 'The Bengal Files,' with the former expected to lead initially. However, 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' is currently dominating, surpassing both Hindi releases in collections.

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri's 'The Bengal Files,' exploring the 1940s Bengal communal violence, has released in theatres on September 5, 2025. Following 'The Tashkent Files' and 'The Kashmir Files,' this film may stream on Zee5 after its theatrical run.

Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Bengal Files' revisits the harrowing communal violence of 1940s Bengal, portraying the aftermath of Direct Action Day and the Noakhali riots. The film, featuring a stellar cast including Mithun Chakraborty and Anupam Kher, uncovers stories of betrayal and survival during this dark period. Early viewer reactions highlight the film's intense and disturbing depiction of historical horrors.

Veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty still holds the record of having 19 films release in a single year. In a recent interview, his younger son Namashi Chakraborty, who will soon be seen with his father and sister-in-law Madalsa Sharma in Vivek Agnihotri’s upcoming film The Bengal Files, was asked if he ever questioned his father about that phase of his career.

Tiger Shroff's 'Baaghi 4' is poised for a strong box office debut, with advance bookings already reaching an estimated ₹5.54 crore. The film has sold 2.23 lakh tickets across 9,892 shows, primarily in Maharashtra and Delhi. Despite competition from 'The Bengal Files,' 'Baaghi 4' is expected to secure a double-digit opening, potentially landing in the ₹9–11 crore range.

Namashi Chakraborty is forging his own path in Bollywood, emphasizing merit over legacy. Growing up away from Mumbai, he navigated the industry without leveraging his family's fame, including his mother Yogeeta Bali's acting career. He believes talent overshadows the pressure of being a star kid, focusing on delivering quality work and earning roles independently.

Raima Sen revealed she faced intense online trolling for her role in Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Vaccine War' even before its release. The actress experienced significant backlash, including losing social media followers, with many judging her performance prematurely. Despite the criticism, Sen embraces the attention, viewing it as publicity and remains satisfied with her involvement in the film.
