Bengali Files, directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, is witnessing a steady run at the box office. While the film hasn’t picked up the way it was expected, it is certainly performing decently considering its low regular box office trends.
The period drama, which released on September 5, was set against the backdrop of the Noakhali riots, the film opened with Rs 1.35 crore and wrapped up its opening week with a net collection of Rs 9.65 crore. It also crossed the Rs 10 crore mark entering its second weekend, followed by nominal jumps on Saturday and Sunday.
Bengali Files adds Rs 2.85 crore in second weekend, cume hits Rs 12.50 crore
Starring an ensemble cast that includes Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Darshan Kumar, Simrat Kaur, Namasashi Chakraborty, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Saswata Chatterjee, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and others, Bengali Files added Rs 2.85 crore in its second weekend.
For the record, it raked in Rs 75 lakh on its second Friday, followed by Rs 1.10 crore on its second Saturday and Rs 1.00 crore on its second Sunday, at the Indian box office, taking the total 10-day cummy to a net of Rs 12.50 crore.
The Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri directorial is close to the Rs 15 crore mark. The film needs to continue its steady run at the box office for a couple of weeks to reach a reasonable figure. However, it will have to face Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi starrer Jolly LLB 3 from the upcoming weekend, which is expected to reduce its business. If the film manages to survive the upcoming releases, it will be assured of a long run at the box office.
