The Bengal Files Ends Week One Near Rs 11 Crore, Sets First Kolkata Screening

After a muted first week, the makers are turning to an invitation-only show at Kolkata’s National Library.

Overview

  • Seven-day domestic net stands at roughly Rs 11.25 crore, with Day 7 estimated at about Rs 1 crore, according to Sacnilk-based trackers.
  • Collections lagged competing releases, with Baaghi 4 around Rs 44.5 crore in week one, and the film’s show count was reduced during the week.
  • Day-six reporting varied across outlets, with estimates near Rs 1 crore versus about Rs 88 lakh, leaving totals in the Rs 10–11 crore range.
  • With most commercial theatres in West Bengal not booking the film, an invite-only Kolkata screening is scheduled for September 13 at the National Library.
  • A petition seeking a stay on the release was dismissed by the Calcutta High Court, and the director has said he invested previous earnings and borrowed for the film.
