This Independence Day, Hindi Zee 5 announces the digital premiere of Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata on 14th August. The OTT platform presents the film focusing on unsung heroes. Written and directed by Manoj Tapadia and produced by PEN Studios, Manikarnika Films and Paramhans Creations in association with Eunoia Films LLP and Floating Rocks Entertainment Pvt Ltd, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata stars Kangana Ranaut alongside Girija Oak and Smita Tambe among others.
Set against the backdrop of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata revisits events to spotlight a group of heroes. Set within Mumbaiâs Cama and Albless Hospital, the film follows the 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.
When the attackers breached the hospital premises, these individuals responded to the situation. With means of protection and a sense of duty, they put their patientsâ lives before their own. Through their actions, the film explores themes of sacrifice, compassion, and resilience.
Kaveri Das, Business Head â Hindi Zee 5 and Chief Channel Officer â &TV, Hindi Zee 5, said, âAt 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 5âs 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.
âTheir quiet acts of bravery stand as a powerful testament to resilience, compassion, and selflessness. As we approach Independence Day, we are proud to bring this inspiring story to audiences on Hindi Zee 5, honoring the unsung heroes whose courage continues to remind us that true heroism is often found far away from the battlefield,â Das said.
Manoj Tapadia, Writer â Director, said, âFrom the very beginning, our intention was to tell the story of 26/11 from a perspective that has never been explored. âWhile the nation remembers the bravery of our security forces, there were equally extraordinary acts of courage unfolding inside Cama Hospital that night.
âDoctors, 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. Iâm grateful that the film will now reach audiences across the country through Hindi Zee 5 this Independence Day,â Tapadia said.
