Story of the Latest Hindi Movies on ZEE5: The Bengal Files-

The Bengal files is one of the latest hindi movies on ZEE5. In this movie, there is a police officer named Shiva in today’s West Bengal. He is honest, a little hot-headed, and suddenly gets a case: a brave woman journalist has disappeared. Shiva thinks it’s just one missing person, but the deeper he goes, the uglier it gets. Powerful politicians, land grabbers, and fake news people are all hiding something big.

Then the movie takes us back to 1946. On 16 August 1946, a leader gave one speech in Calcutta and the city exploded. For four days straight, neighbours killed neighbours. Homes were set on fire, little children had been misplaced, and lots died. Most of the sufferers have been Hindus, however the pain touched everyone. The film shows the Noakhali riots too, where whole villages were attacked and women faced the worst kind of cruelty. A young girl’s terrifying journey through those days keeps flashing on the screen. Slowly you realise her story and Shiva’s story are connected. By the end, you recognize that the same form of hate and greed that burned Bengal in 1946 remains alive.

Who is the director of the film The Bengal Files?

Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, the same director who made The Kashmir Files. He spent years reading old newspapers, assembly grandmothers and grandfathers who were youngsters in 1946, and being attentive to their tales. He wanted the movie to feel real, not like a drama serial. The streets look dusty and crowded like old Calcutta, the rain is real rain, and even the fear in people’s eyes feels true.

Now the actors, because they are the soul of the movie:

- Mithun Chakraborty (yes, the disco dancer!) plays an antique man who noticed the entirety in 1946. When he talks approximately the beyond, his voice breaks and tears roll down. Old uncles in the house keep saying “Mithunda spoke our pain.”

- Anupam Kher is a smooth, dangerous politician. One smile from him feels scarier than ten villains.

- Pallavi Joshi plays the tough newspaper editor. She shouts at powerful people and cries for the truth. Ladies love her.

- Darshan Kumar is Shiva, the police officer. You want to stand up and salute him by the end.

- Simrat Kaur is the young girl from 1946. Her running scenes will make your heart race.

- Bengali stars like Saswata Chatterjee and Sourav Das make every Bangla line feel like home.

Let’s Talk About the Music:

The music is quiet and sad most of the time, old Baul songs from Bengal that make you feel the pain in your chest. There are no big dance numbers, just one beautiful song “Kichudin Mone Mone” that comes when everything feels hopeless. You can watch it on the phone while travelling, on TV with family, or alone with headphones when everyone is sleeping.

Seven quick reasons this movie is worth your evening:

1. You will finally know what really happened in 1946, no boring history class feeling.

2. Mithun Chakraborty will make you cry like no other actor this year.

3. Today’s Bengal news will suddenly make more sense.

4. Perfect to watch with parents; they will keep saying “yes, my uncle told me this.”

5. Free with ZEE5 premium, no extra ticket money.

6. You can pause when scenes get too heavy (some riot parts are hard to watch).

7. After it ends, you will feel something big inside, proud, angry, and thankful all mixed together.

Final Thoughts!

Is the movie perfect? No. Sometimes it feels just like the director is shouting at you. Sometimes it is too long. But it is honest. It is made with both love and anger. So tonight, after dinner, tell everyone to sit together. Open ZEE5. Press play on The Bengal Files. Keep water and tissues ready. Three and a half hours later, nobody will speak for a minute. Then someone will say, “Why didn’t they teach us this in school?” That silence after the movie ends, that is the real power of The Bengal Files.

Just watch it once. You don’t have to agree with everything. But you will never forget it.
