Kangana’s Bharat Bhagya Vidhata: Meet the braveheart nurse who saved 20 women during 26/11 | Bollywood News

As actor-politician Kangana Ranaut gears up for her upcoming film Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, which is inspired by the heroic events that unfolded at Mumbai’s Cama Hospital during the 26/11 terror attacks, one real-life story continues to stand out as a powerful reminder of courage, duty, and humanity. The film reportedly highlights the extraordinary bravery of doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who protected patients amid one of India’s darkest nights. Among them was nurse Anjali Kulthe, whose remarkable actions helped save lives when fear and chaos had engulfed the city.

Nothing seemed unusual until she looked out of a window. What she saw sent a chill down her spine. Two heavily armed terrorists had entered the hospital campus and shot the watchmen. Within minutes, a place meant for healing transformed into a battlefield. As panic spread through the wards, Anjali sprang into action. …

Emergency review: Kangana`s film is a pretty solid biopic of Indira Gandhi

Film: EmergencyU/A: DramaDir: Kangana RanautCast: Kangana Ranaut, Anupam KherRating: 3 stars Emergency exit—that’s the door, I thought, I’d be eyeing in the theatre, sooner or later, in this film.

This is only matched by the fully bombast, marching entry of Gen Manekshaw (Milind Soman) himself.  More of …
