Mumbai, June 12: Kangana Ranaut’s highly anticipated film ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata’ was released in theatres on Friday. Set against the backdrop of the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks, the film has generated considerable discussion even before its release. Audience members who attended on the first day shared their experiences, with most praising the storyline and Kangana’s performance, although some pointed out a few shortcomings.
One viewer commented, “The story and the acting of the cast are quite good, but I believe some scenes depicting the 26/11 attacks could have been shown in a more realistic manner. However, the core message of the film is impactful, emphasizing that every employee has their significance.”
Another audience member stated, “This film should be watched by those who often give more importance to people in high positions. Ordinary employees are equally important. The film successfully conveys that nurses and other healthcare workers are vital to society. Kangana has portrayed her character with great understanding, and there is no political angle in the film.”
Another viewer noted, “The film will appeal more to those who enjoy serious stories. Those looking for masala entertainment might find it different. Kangana’s acting is touching. This film works to change people’s perceptions of the nursing profession. Although the ending is a bit weak, I believe it will perform well at the box office.”
Another audience member highlighted, “The film’s strength lies in depicting the 26/11 attacks from the nurses’ perspective. It makes you feel the fear and stress experienced by those inside the hospital that night. The film effectively portrays the hospital environment, the patients’ concerns, and the nurses’ responsibilities. Kangana has delivered a powerful performance, and there is no political agenda visible.”
Some viewers expressed newfound respect for nurses after watching the film. One female viewer said, “After watching the film, I feel like saluting every nurse. Kangana has brought her character to life, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a film that touches the heart.”
Another viewer deemed the film award-worthy, stating, “The director and the entire cast have done a fantastic job. The atmosphere of the film is so realistic that for a moment, you feel as if you are present during the 26/11 attacks.”
The story revolves around Geeta Madhav Gandhare, a nurse at KEM Hospital, portrayed by Kangana Ranaut, and depicts how ordinary nurses face extraordinary circumstances when terrorists invade the hospital. These nurses step forward to save the lives of patients, newborns, and hundreds of people present, without any weapons or security.
The first part of the film showcases the nurses’ daily lives, their struggles, and the hospital environment, while the second part depicts the events of the 26/11 attacks.
