'The Bengal Files' Screening Faces Court Intervention
A group has asked the court to help get the movie 'The Bengal Files' shown in West Bengal.
The movie is not playing in theaters there because of pressure from a political group.
The people who filed the case want the court to allow the movie to be shown peacefully.
They are concerned about an unofficial ban, meaning the movie can't be watched in West Bengal's theaters.
A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was filed in the Calcutta High Court.
The PIL aims to ensure smooth screening of 'The Bengal Files'.
The movie is currently facing an unofficial ban in West Bengal.
Cinema halls and multiplexes have denied screening slots.
The ban is reportedly due to pressure from a political outfit.
