Kangana Ranaut Criticizes Ban Proposal for ‘Emergency’ in Punjab. The real-life political drama Emergency was directed by Kangana Ranaut. The actress portrays PM Indira Gandhi in the film which also stars Shreyas Talpade, Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhry, Ashok Chhabra, Milind Soman, and Vishak Nair in prominent roles. The film finally released on 17th January 2025 coinciding with Republic Day. The film received positive reviews from critics and fans despite the ongoing controversies surrounding the film.
Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency faced setbacks in Punjab. The film’s screenings has been stopped in major cities such as Patiala, Amritsar, and Bathinda due to the fear of protests. The bold actress Kangana addressed the issue through social media platforms, labelling it as “complete harassment” of the arts and herself as an artist. She revealed her respect for all religions and dismissed the controversy calling it “propaganda” aimed at sabotaging her film. The film’s depiction of Indira Gandhi’s Emergency period has led to heightened debates and protests from certain groups.
Reacting to the Ban proposal, Kanaga took to her official Twitter account to respond. The actress wrote, “This is complete harassment of art and the artist, from Punjab many cities are reporting that these people are not allowing Emergency to be screened. I have utmost respect for all religions and after studying and growing up in Chandigarh I have closely observed and followed the Sikh religion. This is a complete lie and propaganda to tarnish my image and harm my film #Emergency.”
The film Emergency has finally made its way to big screens after multiple delays and several controversies. Emergency released today has received positive reviews despite the ongoing dispute. The film underwent several CBFC (Central Board of Film Certification) cuts for its raw portrayal of real-life incidents. The film follows the life story of former prime minister Indira Gandhi and the era when she declared an emergency. To find a genuine review, one must watch the film.
