The final chapter of the trilogy, 'The Bengal Files', was one of the most talked-about movies; however, the box office numbers didn’t match the buzz. The trade reports show that the latest release hasn’t been able to keep up with its predecessors. 'The Tashkent Files' (2019) earned Rs 20 crore worldwide, while 'The Kashmir Files' (2022) set the bar high with a collection of Rs 341 crore globally.
