Vivek Agnihotri's The Delhi Files: The Bengal Chapter is all set to hit the big screen this year. It is reported to explore an event that happened in India's history, focusing on a social issue.

Meanwhile, the latest update has stated that shooting has been completed and Vivek and the entire team celebrated the same by cutting a cake. The film is arriving on August 15, 2025, which also marks Independence Day.

However, the release date has grabbed a lot of attention, specifically because War 2 is also arriving on the same day. It is a big film from a big franchise created by a big banner, Yash Raj Films. Now the question is who will emerge as the winner in the end.

War 2 is supposed to pull huge crowds due to the popularity of the first film and the YRF Spy Universe.

However, the arrival of The Delhi Files on the same day will be a big headache for Jr. NTR, who plays the villain in War 2 and was supposed to make his debut in a Hindi film. He was possibly expecting a solo release but it seems like people will now remember only Hrithik Roshan after the film's release.

Apart from that, it is a tough job to accumulate enough popularity in front of a popular face like Hrithik. Jr. NTR's personality is completely different.

Considering people's excitement, it is still expected to do good business at the box office, specifically because it is getting released on a holiday. But the entire thing is dependent on the storyline and how Ayan Mukerji has executed everything on screen.

On the other hand, Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files was a huge success in 2022. However, he could not repeat the same with The Vaccine War the following year.

Vivek is supposed to explore a controversial topic on The Delhi Files. It will become a success if it is hard-hitting like The Kashmir Files. A documentary-like treatment won't help to impress audiences and the film has to feature sequences that will keep viewers engaged until the end..
