PIL in HC for intervention in peaceful screening of ‘The Bengal Files’
The Statesman | 19 September 2025
A public interest litigation was filed on Tuesday at the Calcutta High Court, seeking the court’s intervention in ensuring a smooth and peaceful screening of the Vivek Agnihotri-directed ‘The Bengal Files’ in cinema halls and multiplexes in West Bengal.
At present, there is an unofficial ban on the screening of ‘The Bengal Files’ in West Bengal, where the cinema halls and multiplex owners have denied providing screening slots for the film, reportedly following pressures from a particular political outfit.
