What Kangana Said
Speaking at the Bhubaneswar event, Kangana 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.'
She also acknowledged Chief Minister Majhi's presence, saying, 'I must express my deepest gratitude to the Honourable Chief Minister for gracing us with his presence despite his incredibly demanding schedule. I humbly request the Honourable Chief Minister to kindly felicitate these individuals and honour their invaluable service before the screening begins.'
CM Majhi's Remarks
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi praised the project and its lead actor, stating, 'Hearing the words Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata naturally evokes an eternal and profound sense of nationalism in every Indian. It is a matter of immense pride for Odisha to welcome the entire creative team behind this project. Kangana Ranaut's powerful performance anchors this narrative, proving that she is the true hero of this film.'
He added that the film 'beautifully captures how a dedicated nurse and her colleagues selflessly executed their duties in the wake of a catastrophic crisis.'
Cast and Release
The ensemble cast includes Girija Oak, Smita Tambe, Amrutha Namdev, Esha Dey, Priya Berde, Asha Shelar, Suhita Thatte, Rasika Aghase, Aditya Mishra, and Zahid Khan. The film arrives in cinemas on 12 June.
Point of View
Rather than Mumbai or Delhi, signals a deliberate outreach to non-metro audiences. Whether the film's patriotism-first framing translates into box-office returns on 12 June will be the real test of this strategy.
