National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut was recently seen in the film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, based on the Mumbai 26/11 attacks at Cama Hospital. Manoj Tapadia is the writer and director of this thriller, which also stars Girija Oak, Smita Tambe, and Esha Dey in key roles.
To celebrate the Independence Day, ZEE5 is set to bring the exclusive digital premiere of Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata on 14th August. The movie is produced by PEN Studios, Manikarnika Films, and Paramhans Creations in association with Eunoia Films LLP and Floating Rocks Entertainment Pvt Ltd.
Set against the backdrop of the devastating 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata revisits one of the darkest chapters in India’s history to spotlight a group of unsung heroes whose courage and selflessness saved countless lives. Set within Mumbai’s Cama and Albless Hospital, the film follows the extraordinary actions of nurses, ward boys, cleaners, security personnel, and other hospital staff who became the first line of defence for the patients in their care.
Kaveri Das, Business Head – Hindi Zee 5 and Chief Channel Officer – &TV said, “At the heart of every powerful story is the courage to tell it differently. Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata embodies that spirit, making it a significant addition to Hindi Zee 5’s growing slate of bold and meaningful storytelling. While the events of 26/11 have been recounted through many perspectives, this film shines a light on the extraordinary courage of the doctors, nurses, ward staff, and healthcare workers of Cama Hospital who put humanity above self and duty above fear.”
Actor and Producer Kangana Ranaut said, “Some stories choose you because they deserve to be told. Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata is one such film. Releasing this film around Independence Day makes its message even more meaningful, as it reminds us that the spirit of India is defined not only by those who defend the nation on the frontlines, but also by ordinary citizens who rise to extraordinary challenges in moments of crisis. I hope audiences watching the film on Hindi Zee 5 connect with their sacrifices and remember the countless real-life heroes who inspired this story.”
Writer – Director Manoj Tapadia said, “From the very beginning, our intention was to tell the story of 26/11 from a perspective that has never been explored. While the nation remembers the bravery of our security forces, there were equally extraordinary acts of courage unfolding inside Cama Hospital that night. Doctors, nurses and hospital staff continued to care for their patients despite the immense danger surrounding them. Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata is our tribute to their resilience, humanity and quiet heroism. I’m grateful that the film will now reach audiences across the country through Hindi Zee 5 this Independence Day”.
