Today’s Filmy Friday witnessed the release of two major films—Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi-4 and Vivek Agnihotri’s The Bengal Files. Baaghi-4, packed with high-octane action sequences and Sanjay Dutt’s powerful performance, hit theatres on September 5, 2025, but faced CBFC cuts in 23 scenes despite receiving an A certificate. While advance bookings were strong, reviews highlight Tiger’s beast avatar and stunts but point out a weak storyline. Meanwhile, The Bengal Files, based on the 1946 Great Calcutta Killings, has landed in controversy. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi, the film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, and Darshan Kumar. The West Bengal government has raised objections, and theatre owners claim they are under pressure not to screen the movie. The makers have appealed to CM Mamata Banerjee and even to President Droupadi Murmu, while its overseas release has been postponed in five countries due to censorship hurdles. Thus, this Friday offers audiences two contrasting cinematic experiences—Baaghi-4’s massy action and The Bengal Files’ politically sensitive drama.
