The trailer of Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri’s highly anticipated historical drama, The Bengal Files launched today on 16 August, 2025 in Kolkata. The teaser of the film will be attached to the much-awaited action thriller War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and Rajinikanth’s Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Trailer Depicts Painful Moments Of History
The trailer shows the pain of partition that still plagues West Bengal. From Gandhiji’s Ahimsa to the problem of illegal immigration in the state, the film is looking to explore topics that are not spoken about freely. The clip shows how thousands of people were killed in West Bengal due to the politics of religion.
The film’s first trailer which released in June, created a stir with its haunting imagery and intense tone, including blood-soaked visuals, a Kashmiri Pandit warning that ‘Bengal is becoming another Kashmir,’ and a burning idol of Goddess Durga. The film itself is slated for theatrical release on 5th September, 2025.
Check out the trailer:
Earlier, on August 15, Agnihotri disclosed via a video on X (formerly Twitter) that the Kolkata trailer launch had been called off by a leading theatre chain just a day before the scheduled event. “We had all the permissions and correspondence. Our entire team came to Kolkata, but now the event has been cancelled,” he said.
The filmmaker expressed disappointment, accusing the authorities of obstructing the film’s promotion. Despite the setback, Agnihotri unveiled the trailer of film.
