Emergency Day 5 Collections: Struggles to Climb Box Office Charts. Kanagana’s directorial masterpiece Emergency made its grand theatrical debut on 17 January 2025. The film, released after many controversies, opened at the box office with impressive collections despite lower ticket prices on its first day. Emergency succeeded in making lasting impressions with its raw portrayals of real-life incidents. The political drama’s fifth day at the box office seems impressive again. Let’s have a look at the detailed collections of Emergency.
On its fifth day of release, Emergency collected ₹1.00 crore, marking its lowest single-day collection so far. The film’s total earnings now stand at ₹12.40 crore. It had a decent opening day with ₹2.5 crore, followed by ₹3.6 crore on the second day and ₹4.25 crore on the third day. However, day four saw a sharp drop to ₹1.05 crore. Emergency’s performance at the box office has been inconsistent, facing tough challenges in its first week.
The film Emergency directed by Kangana Ranaut marks the first directorial debut. The film stars Kangana as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Emergency also features Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan, Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Mahima Chaudhry in prominent roles. This Zee production film made with a budget of Rs 80 crore is going strong at the box office maintaining its momentum. The story follows the incidents that took place under the leadership of Indira Gandhi, former prime minister making her one of the powerful women in the world.
In the interview, Kangana first spoke about the success that made her disillusioned. Kangana said, “Finally, I got success in 2014-15. The jobs were pouring in. Everybody wanted to work with me. When I got that success, I was a bit disillusioned by it because it didn’t feel as good as I anticipated it to be. Because I waited for so long. These people who wanted to work with me, I didn’t want to work with them. Along the way, I had grown mentally out of them, grown mentally out of this industry. I wanted the acceptance of the high and mighty…I was a bit disillusioned because, for 10 years, I had seen their ugly sides.”
