Speaking after viewing the movie, Mishra stated, "The movie shows the bitter truth about Partition and appeasement politics. It is the cinema's responsibility to show the truth. All citizens should watch this film...Only those who have something to hide try to stop people from expressing themselves. Every Bengali should watch this film as it shows the bitter truth which some people want to hide." Earlier, actor-producer Pallavi Joshi wrote a letter to President Droupadi Murmu seeking help for the peaceful release of 'The Bengal Files' in West Bengal and alleged and "unofficial ban" on the film's release in the state.
