Emphasising that the
phrase “Bharat Bhhagya Vidhata” evokes a deep and enduring sense of nationalism
in every Indian, Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday lauded the
efforts of the country’s unsung frontline workers while attending a special
screening of the upcoming film ‘Bharat
Bhhagya Viddhaata’ alongside actor and Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut
in Bhubaneswar.
“Hearing the words ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata’ naturally evokes an eternal and profound
sense of nationalism in every Indian. ‘Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata’ serves as an
excellent platform to recognize and felicitate remarkable individuals who
continue to serve society with unwavering commitment,” the Chief Minister said
while addressing healthcare professionals and members of the film fraternity.
The special
screening, organised ahead of the film’s nationwide theatrical release on June
12, was part of a countrywide initiative aimed at honouring the
often-overlooked frontline workers who keep essential services functioning
during times of crisis. Nurses, ward boys, hospital watchmen, cleaners,
security personnel and other support staff were invited to the event and
felicitated for their invaluable contributions.
In a symbolic
gesture, select healthcare workers were presented with ‘Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata’ badges by Chief Minister Majhi and
Kangana Ranaut, recognising them as the true architects of the nation’s
destiny. The event celebrated the dedication and sacrifices of healthcare
professionals whose efforts frequently remain outside the public spotlight.
Welcoming the film’s
team to Odisha, Majhi described it as a matter of immense pride for the state.
He praised Kangana Ranaut’s performance in the film and said the narrative
effectively highlights the courage and commitment displayed by nurses and hospital
staff during catastrophic crises. He also noted the significance of the event
coinciding with World Environment Day, stating that it provided an opportunity
to honour real-life heroes who protect and serve society.
Drawing a parallel
with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to spotlight ordinary citizens
through his Mann Ki Baat programme,
the Chief Minister said the film carries forward the message of recognising
unsung heroes whose contributions are vital to nation-building.
Addressing the
gathering, Kangana Ranaut said, “Bharat
Bhhagya Viddhaata captures the essence of the Indian spirit — celebrating
the selflessness, patriotism, and diligence of our people. The film's core
theme is deeply inspired by our Honourable Prime Minister, who aptly coined the
phrase ‘Bharat Bhhagya Vidhaata’ to describe these everyday citizens.”
Expressing gratitude
to the Chief Minister for attending the event despite his demanding schedule,
Kangana said the team had identified several “silent heroes” from the local
community whose services deserved public recognition. She requested Majhi to
personally felicitate them before the screening commenced.
Following its
Bhubaneswar stop, the film’s nationwide tribute tour will travel to Raipur,
Jodhpur, Delhi and Jaipur, continuing its mission of expressing gratitude and
recognition to frontline workers across the country.
Set largely within a
hospital during a time of crisis, ‘Bharat
Bhhagya Viddhaata’ portrays the resilience and courage of healthcare
workers who remain steadfast in their duties while chaos unfolds outside.
Inspired by real-life incidents, the film underscores the indispensable role
played by nurses, ward boys, cleaners, security personnel, lift operators and
administrators in sustaining critical services when society faces extraordinary
challenges.
Kangana Ranaut plays a staff nurse whose dedication often goes unnoticed in everyday life but whose courage and moral strength emerge as a beacon of hope during a terror crisis. The film also stars Girija Oak, Smita Tambe, Amrutha Namdev, Esha Dey, Priya Berde, Asha Shelar, Suhita Thatte, Rasika Agashe, Aditya Mishra and Zahid Khan.
Presented by Dr. Jayantilal Gada (PEN Studios), Bharat Bhhagya Vidhaata is produced by PEN Studios, Manikarnika Films and Paramhans Creations in association with Eunoia Films LLP and Floating Rocks Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. The film will be distributed by Pen Marudhar and is scheduled for theatrical release on June 12, 2026.
