The Bengal Files Day 1 Collection: Vivek Agnihotri’s directorial venture ‘The Bengal Files’ has had a slow start at the box office. Despite this, it has proved to be his second biggest opener in the last 9 years. It has surpassed his previous film ‘The Vaccine War’. But compared to ‘The Kashmir Files’, its opening has been less than half. Starring actors like Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty and Darshan Kumar, this film has been released on 5 September in the entire country except West Bengal and it has clashed with Tiger Shroff and Sanjay Dutt starrer ‘Baaghi 4’, which is a mass action thriller film.
According to trade reports, ‘The Bengal Files’, which was released amid controversies, has made a net collection of around Rs 1.75 crore in India on the first day. Compared to Vivek Agnihotri’s previous film ‘The Vaccine War’, ‘The Bengal Files’ has opened with almost double the amount. Nana Patekar starrer ‘The Vaccine War’ had earned around Rs 70 lakh on the first day.
If we talk only about Vivek Agnihotri’s Files trilogy films, ‘The Bengal Files’ opened with almost half the amount of ‘The Kashmir Files’ and almost four times the amount of ‘The Tashkent Files’. ‘The Kashmir Files’ earned around Rs 3.55 crore on the first day and the opening collection of ‘The Tashkent Files’ was around Rs 40 lakh.
‘The Bengal Files’ has proved to be the fifth biggest opener of Vivek Agnihotri’s career. It has pushed out ‘Chocolate’, released in 2005, starring Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Emraan Hashmi, Arshad Warsi, Sunil Shetty and Tanushree Dutta, from the list. ‘Chocolate’, released in 2005, had collected around Rs 85 crore on the first day.
