Marking
the
third
chapter
in
the
acclaimed
“Files

Tashkent
Files
and
The
Kashmir
Files),
the
film
unfolds
against
the
turbulent
backdrop
of
pre-Independence
Bengal.
It
revisits
the
events
surrounding
the
1946
Great
Calcutta
Killings
(Direct
Action
Day)
and
their
far-reaching
impact
on
India’s
path
toward
Partition
and
Independence.
Through
its
narrative,
The
Bengal
Files
explores
themes
of
ideology,
identity,
and
human
resilience
amid
one
of
the
most
volatile
chapters
in
Indian
history.
Kaveri
Das,

said,
“At
ZEE5,
our
constant
endeavour
is
to
bring
stories
that
not
only
entertain
but
also
spark
thought,
evoke
emotion,
and
mirror
the
many
layers
of
our
society.
The
Bengal
Files
is
one
such
powerful
cinematic
experience
–
brought
to
life
by
an
exceptional
cast
and
crew.
After
a
successful
theatrical
run,
we’re
delighted
to
make
the
film
available
to
audiences
worldwide
from
21st
November.
As
a
platform,
we
remain
committed
to
offering
viewers
diverse
perspectives
through
storytelling,
and
The
Bengal
Files
is
a
truly
thought-provoking
addition
to
that
journey.”
Producer
and
Director
Vivek
Agnihotri
said,
“The
Bengal
Files
is
not
just
a
film;
it’s
a
reminder.
It’s
about
the
forgotten
chapters
of
our
collective
conscience
and
the
price
of
silence.
Through
this
story,
we
wanted
to
bring
Bengal’s
pain,
courage
and
truth
to
the
forefront.
I’m
glad
that,
through
ZEE5,
this
story
will
now
reach
every
home
–
every
viewer
who
wants
to
know
what
really
happened.”
Producer
and
Actor
Pallavi
Joshi
said,
“Each
film
in
the
Files
Trilogy
has
been
an
emotional
and
artistic
awakening
for
us.
With
The
Bengal
Files
we
wanted
to
capture
a
truth
buried
under
decades
of
denial.
Every
performance,
every
scene
is
rooted
in
reality
and
emotion.
I’m
proud
that
ZEE5
is
taking
this
story
to
a
wider
audience
who
can
now
experience
it
beyond
the
big
screen.”
Actor
Anupam
Kher
said,
“Some
stories
stay
with
you
forever,
and
The
Files
trilogy
is
one
of
them.
This
isn’t
just
about
history
–
it’s
about
humanity.
When
I
read
the
script,
I
felt
an
ache
that
only
truth
can
cause.
Portraying
this
role
was
emotionally
exhausting
yet
deeply
fulfilling.
Films
like
this
remind
us
that
courage
is
not
just
about
standing
up
in
battle,
it’s
also
about
standing
up
for
truth.
I
believe
every
viewer
who
watches
The
Bengal
Files
on
ZEE5
will
feel
the
same
intensity,
the
same
silence,
and
the
same
power
that
we
felt
while
making
it.”
