Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, directed by Manoj Tapadia, is a nail-biting tribute to the courage of nurses who risked their lives during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. Kangana Ranaut shines as Anjali Kulthe, a real-life nurse who helped save over 400 lives. The film effectively immerses viewers in the lives of the nurses and their families, making their bravery and sacrifice feel all the more real.
The screenplay by Ritesh Shah keeps the narrative moving with confidence, creating a thrilling experience out of familiar territory. The cinematography by Ayan Sil is strong, capturing the harrowing moments at Cama Hospital with immediacy. However, the music by GV Prakash Kumar occasionally feels like a deliberate filmi punch, detracting from the emotional impact of the film.
Kangana Ranaut slips into the role effortlessly, and the cast does a swell job in bringing the story to life. The film's world-building is convincing, and the relationships between the nurses and their families are naturally drawn. Overall, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata serves as a reminder that heroism often wears a uniform far less celebrated than those of soldiers and commandos.
