The Bollywood political drama is reportedly based on the Great Calcutta Killings and the Noakhali riots that occurred in 1946. It promises to narrate the dark chapters of Indian history that were deliberately suppressed. Considering its sensitive subject, the film generated genuine curiosity on the ground, which was reflected to some extent in pre-sales.
The Bengal Files registers a decent day 1 advance booking at the Indian box office!
As per Sacnilk, The Bengal Files concluded its day 1 advance booking by selling tickets worth 1.22 crore gross (including blocked seats) at the Indian box office. It’s a decent number and better than The Kashmir Files. For those who aren’t aware, The Kashmir Files had closed its opening day pre-sales at 1.13 crore gross. If a comparison is made, the latest political drama is ahead with 7.96% or 8% higher pre-sales.

Will it overtake The Kashmir Files’ opening day collection?
The Kashmir Files was released in 2022 and opened at 3.55 crore net in India. Since The Bengal Files has surpassed it in the advance booking stage, the film might even topple its day 1 of 3.55 crores. Of course, a lot will depend on the initial word-of-mouth. So far, reactions have been positive, and this might lead to healthy growth during evening and night shows.
Earlier, the film was aiming for a start of 3-3.5 crore net, but now, considering the initial audience feedback, it might easily cross the 4 crore mark.
