Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has released the teaser for The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter, offering a powerful first look at Mithun Chakraborty in a gripping and emotional role.
The recently unveiled teaser for The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter presents a captivating introduction to Mithun Chakraborty, showcasing his compelling portrayal in an emotionally charged setting.
The teaser, which debuted on the YouTube platform of Abhishek Agarwal Arts, highlights Agnihotri’s ability to engage viewers with a striking first glimpse of Chakraborty’s character. His performance hints at the weighty themes the film addresses.
Mithun is depicted traversing an empty corridor, characterized by a rugged appearance and a white beard, as he poignantly recites the Preamble to the Constitution of India. The delivery, marked by an intense vulnerability, suggests both personal and collective pain, culminating in a powerful moment as he leans against the wall, visibly affected by the weight of his words.
This film aims to explore a profound yet underrepresented segment of Indian history, particularly focusing on the tragic events that transpired in Bengal. The synopsis underscores its aim as a “deeply emotional film that vividly encapsulates a critical chapter of Indian history.” With impressive storytelling and captivating visuals, it aspires to be more than just entertainment, offering a reflective cinematic experience.
Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter seeks to highlight India’s intricate historical narrative, involving political and social complexities. Produced collaboratively by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi, along with presentations from Tej Narayan Agarwal and I Am Buddha Productions, the film is slated for a global release on August 15, 2025.
Agnihotri shared the teaser on X (formerly Twitter), expressing, “PRESENTING: A tribute to the Constitution of India. From the makers of #TheDelhiFiles: The Bengal Chapter. Witness an epic untold story this Independence Day, 2025. Releasing worldwide. #RightToLife.” This statement encapsulates not only the film’s thematic focus but also its timing, strategically aligned with India’s Independence Day.
The project commenced filming last November, with Agnihotri announcing the start on social media and describing a ceremonial puja held for the crew. His message highlighted a commitment to truthfulness in telling this challenging story. Additionally, revealing that the film would be released in two parts has further fueled anticipation among audiences for this impactful historical narrative.
