About Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata

Released in theatres on June 12, the film is inspired by real-life events from the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Directed by writer-director Manoj Tapadia, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata showcases the experiences of the staff at Mumbai's Cama Hospital on the terrifying night of November 26, 2008.

WION review of the film reads, " Manoj Tapadia brings the story of nurses to the big screen by understanding the gravity of the subject and the stories of people he's telling, capturing the fear that those women had. At moments, the movie goes overboard with dialogues and actions that may feel unnecessary or overdone. But that’s the little creative liberty that’s always demanded by a film. Having watched so many movies and documentaries on this incident, I can say this movie captures the events with both emotion and fear, alongside moments of warmth. This film will make you think about a story, which has remained largely hidden. Runtime is short and that's the best part."

In the film, Ranaut plays the role of a nurse, and presents how medical professionals safeguarded hundreds of people as terrorists attacked different parts of the city.

Alongside Ranaut, the cast also features Girija Oak, Smita Tambe, Amrutha Namdev, Esha Dey, Priya Berde, Asha Shelar, Suhita Thatte, Rasika Aghase, Aditya Mishra and Zahid Khan in key roles.
