Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata Movie Review and Release Live Updates: Kangana starrer braces for clash with Imtiaz Ali's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' and Manoj Bajpayee's 'Governor' in cinemas

Shedding light on her next, Kangana said, "Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata is a salutation to those invisible souls who, when pushed into crisis, rise to stand as the ultimate shield of humanity and harmony. When disaster strikes, our collective instinct is to look toward armed uniforms or state authorities for salvation. But this film tributes the uniforms nobody notices until the world is burning—the blood-stained aprons, the sterile hospital scrubs, the frayed civilian clothes. True courage does not wait for a badge, permission, or the promise of a medal."

Talking about the motion poster, the 'Queen' actress went on to add, "Every single frame of this motion poster compels us to look into the eyes of people who surrendered everything they had without ever demanding an audience. I feel a profound honour in being part of a film that carries their truth to the world."

Ranaut said playing the role of a nurse in her new film, written and directed by Manoj Tapadia, was fun yet challenging.

“If you take a little liberty with that character, it will get disconnected. So, you can't take any liberty with this character. So, keeping that in mind, within that you have to be (the character) and it has its own fun. It has its own challenge. When a character is challenging, it has its own fun.”

After her last big screen outing as former prime minister Indira Gandhi, Ranaut is returning to playing an ordinary woman in her new film, which will see her as a hospital nurse.

The 40-year-old said she was thrilled to bring to life the bravery of the nurses and ward boys, who became the nation’s quiet saviours during the 26/11 dastardly attacks in 2008, through her film, “Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata”.

“The message of the film has resonated with me a lot. Especially because we always feel that some divine saviour (will come to save us). But when we look at the character sketch (of this film), it is very evident that the people, who do their job very well and take their work seriously and don't take themselves seriously, they are the people, who are living in reality. These people are the most spiritual, closest to God, the happiest, and most patriotic.”

Kangana Ranaut has emphasized the need for cinema to continuously evolve with a rapidly changing society.

When asked about whether high fees charged by lead actors lead to losses for films, the ‘Queen’ actress told IANS that when a film does not do well at the box office, all costs are naturally questioned. She compared it to a household cutting back on spending when income goes down. Kangana also added that the film industry should change and adapt according to shifting audience expectations and market conditions. “When a film doesn't do well, the value will be very high. The way you used to spend money—if you don't have that much income, how much will you spend? So having said that, I think films need to evolve. And the way society is evolving, they need to keep evolving themselves.”

Kangana’s co-star from ‘Bharat Bhhagya Vidhaata,' Smita Tambe, added, “I always feel that every person looks for some relevance. In any story, anywhere. We have relevance. Somewhere we are visible. Somewhere we see larger-than-life visuals.”

“I feel that with this exchange of relevance, the stories of cinema and the common audience, the more it evolves, the more it will become an attraction point for them. For example, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata. We see that every common woman, our mothers, nurses, or any other working-class person, will be able to relate to it. So, I feel that the more this relation evolves, the more the audience will come to us,” she further explained.

Actress and politician Kangana Ranaut has advised all parents not to simply abandon their daughters once they are married. Taking to the Stories section of her official Instagram handle, the 'Queen' actress shared a post that read, “So many tragic news about married young women comes up every day. Many of these young, educated ladies even beg their parents to help them out of their suffocating situations before tragedies strike them, but Indian society is notorious for abandoning daughters once they are married (sic).”

She further urged all the young women to focus on their careers and become independent before thinking about getting married. She added, “My advice to young women out there which no social media or fashion/dating/wedding/make up industry is telling you. Your career is more important than anyone else in your life. Think about marriage only after you are independent. Please you have to be your own hero. No one is coming to save you. What you do and what you are is more important than who you marry. Build a life that you want don't listen to anyone.”

"When I called to invite her for this screening, she immediately said yes, and I will always be indebted to her," the actor said. She also thanked the Chief Minister for making 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' tax-free in Delhi.

Kangana Ranaut attended a special screening of her film 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' in the national capital. She was joined by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta.

The event held on Tuesday drew members of the film fraternity, political leaders, and other distinguished guests.

During the screening, CM Rekha Gupta announced that 'Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata' would be made tax-free in Delhi, a move aimed at encouraging wider public viewership. The Chief Minister also lauded the film for its cultural and social significance.

"Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata is a great film, and it follows a very relevant topic. The film states that dedication, service and patriotism are not just limited to those in uniforms. It is something that all the citizens of our country have within themselves. And when it matters the most, every Indian steps up to help the country. The real Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata are the citizens of our country. I would urge the public to watch the film. I would like to announce that the Delhi government will make the film tax-free in the city so that every citizen is able to watch Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata," CM Gupta said.

On X (formerly Twitter), Delhi CM Rekha Gupta wrote in a Hindi caption, which after translation reads this, “The renowned actress and Member of Parliament, Ms. Kangana Ranaut Ji's film ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhaata’ powerfully portrays the courage, spirit of service, and dedication to duty of those brave doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers who devoted themselves to serving humanity during the 26/11 terrorist attacks. Kangana Ji's impactful performance effectively conveys the film's emotions and message. Such films strengthen the values of service, sensitivity, and duty in society. Heartfelt best wishes to the entire team."
