Overview

• Released nationwide on September 5, the film saw few or no shows in West Bengal, with the makers alleging an unofficial ban and TMC leaders insisting theatre scheduling was an exhibitor decision.
• Early estimates show ₹1.75 crore on day one, roughly ₹2.0–2.25 crore on day two, and about ₹2.67–2.9 crore on day three for a three-day total around ₹6.5–6.6 crore.
• Protesters gathered outside Kolkata-area cinemas calling for screenings as some theatre owners and multiplex representatives cited prior commitments or declined to slot the film.
• A legal complaint was filed by descendants of Gopal Mukherjee (Gopal Patha) over his portrayal, adding to pre-release disputes and reputational challenges.
• Director Vivek Agnihotri says he reinvested profits from The Kashmir Files and borrowed money for promotions, noting that next steps could hinge on the film’s earnings.
