The trailer of The Bengal Files is finally out, and it depicts one of the grimiest and darkest periods in India’s history, in the form of a thrilling and chilling cinematic experience. Directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, the film is the third part of his ‘Files’ trilogy, coming after ‘The Tashkent Files’ and ‘The Kashmir Files’.
Set against the blood-soaked backdrop of West Bengal’s violent political past, The Bengal Files dares to ask the questions no one has the courage to answer. Based on true events and spine-chilling testimonies, the film exposes the brutal Hindu genocide that mainstream narratives have long buried.

In one of the most jarring moments from the trailer, a voice cuts through the silence, “Yeh Pachim Bangal hai, yaha do constitution chalta hai, ek Hinduao ka, ek Musalmanon ka.” Another character declares with steely resolve, “Sirf Zameen ka tukda nahi, Bharat ka light house hai Bangal.”

As the trailer ends, a final line echoes like a scream into the nation’s conscience, “Kyu Azaadi ke 80 saal baad bhi hum ussi communal politics se ladh rahe hai? Kya hum aazad hai?”

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri said, “The Bengal Files is a wake-up call… a roar that we will not let Bengal become another Kashmir. We decided to launch the trailer in Kolkata to bring authenticity to the portrayal of untold story of Hindu Genocide and you will witness a glimpse of it in the trailer. The nation should prepare… because if Kashmir hurt you, Bengal will haunt you.”
Producer Abhishek Agarwal said, “The Bengal Files is not just a film. It is our sincere and uncompromising effort to bring forth the buried truths and forgotten history of Bengal to the people of this great nation. What happened in Bengal deserves to be in the public domain, and we are committed to telling the truth without yielding to any pressure or agenda. The overwhelming love and support we’ve received during our USA premieres only reaffirms the film’s relevance and urgency. I believe every Indian, no matter where they live, will be deeply moved by this story. When we choose to remain silent in the face of atrocities, we risk committing a greater injustice to the victims. As a nation, we stood united for The Kashmir Files. Now is the time to stand together and show the same solidarity for The Bengal Files.”
