02:45Agnihotri said that they screened the film in 12 cities of America.
02:49The Indian diaspora praised the film.
02:51Vivek said that Bengal has seen the worst cases of communal violence.
02:55Citing the Arjikar case, he termed the law and order of the state as a failure.

03:07While speaking to IENS, Vivek expressed his concern on demographic change in Bengal
03:12and termed it as a subject of national security concern.
03:15While speaking about the film, Vivek retold the horrors that Suhrawardi inflicted on the Bengali Hindus during the Direct Action Day
03:22and mentioned freedom fighter Gopal Patha as a hero and had a special request to the government.
03:27The man who stopped to go to Pakistan, in my opinion, is a huge hero of India.
03:34Now, I ask a question.
03:36Is there a Hitler road in Germany?
03:39Then, in Kalakata, what is Suhrawardi Street in Suhrawardi?
03:44What is Suhrawardi Avenue?
03:46I appeal to you, today on the 16th August Direct Action Day, a memorial day.
03:51So, I appeal to you that the name of Suhrawardi Avenue is Gopal Mukherji Avenue.
03:59Vivek says that Bengal Files is a bold film and that the people of India should know about the biggest genocide of India.
04:05Mentioning his previous film The Kashmir Files, he said, if Kashmir haught you, Bengal Files will haunt you.
04:11will haunt you.
04:13The Bengal Files, directed by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, starring actors like Anupam Kher,
04:18Mithun Chakravarti, Darshan Kumar and Pallavi Joshi, is set to hit the theatres on September
04:235th, 2025.
