Director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is back with another hard-hitting film, The Delhi Files, following his previous thought-provoking projects, The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files. Known for sparkling discussions on forgotten historical issues, Agnihotri’s latest film focuses on the Bengal tragedy, a lesser-known chapter of Indian history.
Agnihotri has divided The Delhi Files into two parts, with the first installment, The Bengal Chapter, set for a grand Independence Day 2025 release. Produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi, along with Tej Narayan Aagarwal and I Am Buddha Productions, the film is slated for a worldwide release on August 15, 2025.
A riveting teaser featuring Mithun Chakraborty
The teaser of The Delhi Files has been unveiled offering an intense and gripping glimpse into the film. The nearly two-minute clip features veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty in a powerful role. Supporting a rugged look with white bread, he is seen reciting the preamble to the constitution of India with a burnt tongue in a desolate corridor. Appearing weary, he limps while speaking, and the video ends with his character leaning against a wall, exhausted yet resolute.
A story that brings history to life
According to the film's official synopsis, The Delhi Files is a deeply emotional journey that brings a significant yet overlooked chapter of India’s past to the forefront. The film aims to deliver a thought-provoking experience through impactful storytelling, stunning visuals, and stellar performances, ensuring an unforgettable cinematic experience.
With The Delhi Files, The Bengal Chapter set to hit the big screen, audiences eagerly await another eye-opening narrative that sheds light on India’s untold stories.
