Overall Verdict: "The Bengal Files" is a bold and powerful film that finally tells the truth about a dark, forgotten chapter in Indian history. It doesn’t hold back in showing the horrors of Direct Action Day and the suffering of Hindus in Bengal. The visuals of the film is very strong, emotional storytelling, and fearless political stance which make it an eye-opener of the society. Director Vivek Agnihotri continues his mission of revealing the  uncomfortable truths which happened in the history. This is a must-watch for those who want to understand the real history of India, not just the filtered version.
