The Bengal Files day 3 collection: Vivek Agnihotri film off to a slow start

Vivek Agnihotri's "The Bengal Files" continues to struggle at the box office. The third part in Agnihotri's 'The Files Trilogy', based on modern Indian history, was released in theatres on Sept 5

The Bengal Files day 3: Even while Vivek Agnihotri's recent political drama, "The Bengal Files," did much better financially than his 2019 film, The Tashkent Files, it still pales in comparison to his 2022 hit, The Kashmir Files. The third instalment in his trilogy, which is the largest in terms of scope and scale, has not had the anticipated opening weekend at the Indian box office.

 

Based on the sad real-life events of Direct Action Day (1946), the movie "The Bengal Files" is receiving a lot of positive reviews at the box office. The movie has made ₹6.65 crore in three days, with Sunday bringing in ₹2.75 Cr.  

 

‘The Bengal Files’ box office collection day 3 

According to early estimates, The Bengal Files earned ₹2.67 crore on Day 3, as per Sacnilk. This is a slight rise from Day 2, when the film collected ₹2.15 crore. On its opening day, the movie had made ₹1.75 crore. So far, the total box office collection stands at ₹6.57 crore.

 

In terms of box office performance, the movie has not yet shown any signs of improvement. Its weekday collections will be quite important. The current trend implies that people are more inclined to see the movie during downtime, especially on weekends, while early reviews might have a significant impact on audience turnout.

The Bengal Files box office ‘occupancy’ region-wise

Chennai had the most devoted viewership of "The Bengal Files" by region, with an astounding 83% occupancy rate on Sunday. Bengaluru was not far behind, at 75.75%. These numbers demonstrate how strongly Southern cities are relating to the story and presentation of the movie. 

 

While certain towns like Surat (14.5%), Ahmedabad (22.75%), and Jaipur (28.75%) had lesser figures, other important locations like Pune (46.75%), Mumbai (41.5%), and the National Capital Region (NCR) (38.25%) showed respectable interest. 

 

These inconsistent geographical outcomes demonstrate the wide range of reactions to a movie that tackles difficult and powerful subjects. "The Bengal Files" may continue to expand throughout the week due to a consistent increase in box office collection and the emotional responses that viewers are giving it. Its emphasis on forgotten or little-known periods of Indian history appears to have resonated particularly with audiences in the South  .
