Union Minister Nitin Gadkari attended the grand premiere of the film 'Bharat Bhagya Viddhaata' and praised it for its realistic depiction of the courage shown by nurses at Mumbai's Cama Hospital during the 26/11 terror attacks.
Speaking at the event, Gadkari said the film brings back memories of the tragic attacks and highlights the extraordinary bravery of healthcare workers in the face of danger. He recalled being in Mumbai when the attacks occurred, noting that after striking VT Station, the terrorists entered Cama Hospital. The film realistically portrays the immense courage of the nurses who worked to save lives, he added.
Gadkari expressed hope that the movie would inspire younger generations to serve the nation with commitment and dedication. He said watching the film would inspire new audiences to serve the nation with dedication.
Headlined by Kangana Ranaut, the film shifts focus from celebrated heroes to nurses and ward boys who emerged as silent saviours during one of India's darkest chapters. Inspired by real-life incidents, it highlights the indispensable role of healthcare workers and support staff, underscoring how the system would struggle without their selfless service.
Recently, Kangana attended a special screening of the film in Delhi, joined by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta. At the trailer launch, Kangana revealed that the title 'Bharat Bhagya Viddhaata' was inspired by a phrase used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to describe workers and labourers. She explained that PM Modi named specially-abled individuals as 'Divyangjan', widows' scheme as 'Kalyani', and workers as 'Vishwakarma'. Similarly, he named labourers 'Bharat Bhagya Viddhaata', which touched their hearts, leading them to choose it as the title.
In the film, Kangana portrays a staff nurse, an ordinary woman whose dedication, compassion and service often go unrecognised despite being at the forefront of public service. The film traces the journey of ordinary individuals who displayed extraordinary courage to save over 400 lives during the terror attacks.
