Anupam Kher shares his Bengal Files experience. Vivek Agnihotri's The Bengal Files inspired by the real life incidents during the pre Independence Era when Muslim League gave call for the Direct Action Day in The state of Bengal, failed to set the screens on fire when it released on 5 Sep.
However, Anupam Kher speaking to scribes, shared his experience after watching the film in the theatre. He said a picture with the film’s team on X and wrote, “Watched @vivekagnihotri ’s #TheBengalFiles in a 80% theatre full of people of all ages! The film is Shocking, Saddening, emotionally Disturbing and at places Numbing too. Audiences were going through a sea of emotions. At places crying for the people who lost everything in those riots before partition (sic)."
He continued “All departments in the film are A-Grade! Acting, sets, cinematography, background music, and costumes. But as they say the CAPTAIN of the ship undoubtedly is #VivekAgnihotri. BRILLIANT! Go watch it. This kind of Cinema is equally important! Talking about past can heal the present and teach us a few lessons for future! (sic)."
