Delhi CM Rekha Gupta reviews Kangana's Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, to make it tax-free

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta praised Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata and said she would recommend that it be made tax-free in the national capital after attending a special screening organised for her and other bureaucrats in Delhi.

Speaking to ANI at the film’s red-carpet premiere, Gupta described the movie as a powerful portrayal of courage and humanity. She said it brought attention to an extraordinary real-life story that many people may not be aware of, particularly the bravery shown by 15 nurses who saved the lives of 400 patients during a critical situation.

“Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata is a great film, and it follows a very relevant topic. The film states that dedication, service, and patriotism are not just limited to those in uniforms. It is something that all the citizens of our country have within themselves. And when it matters the most, every Indian steps up to help the country. The real Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata are the citizens of our country. I would urge the public to watch the film. I would like to announce that the Delhi government will make the film tax-free in the city so that every citizen is able to watch Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata," Gupta said.

She also praised Kangana’s acting in the film and said, “Kangana Ranaut is a strong voice in the Parliament, who keeps fighting for the betterment of cinema and the people of India. She doesn't just voice her opinions in the Parliament, but also on screen. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to congratulate the artist and the emotion in Kangana for choosing such stories and subjects.”
