1.5/5

The performances are mostly over-wrought, reflecting the spirit of the writing.

But other than gore, the film has nothing perceptive to say about communal violence. It leaps from one scene to another without offering a diagnosis or even a coherent critique of the passions that drive people to commit horrific acts of violence...

It has power in its performances and moments where the weight of history hits hard, but the length and indulgence make it an exhausting watch.

Watch this if you've liked and enjoyed the previous movies from this franchise. But if you're a stickler for historical accuracy, you might not agree with everything that The Bengal Files portrays.

3.5/5

The film has all the ingredients to spark heated debates...Yet, amid the excesses, it also manages to connect at an emotional level, offering glimpses into suffering that transcend politics.

What the film lacked was proper execution, though the idea was good. The film is well-meaning, but not well-executed.

It shows the truth that has been hidden from the current generation. Truth is extremely bitter, and the movie will shake your mind and heart.
