This story isn't just about a controversial leader; it delves into themes that remain profoundly relevant today, making the journey both difficult and significant. Releasing just a week before Republic Day, it's the perfect time to reflect on the resilience of our Constitution and experience the film with your loved ones."
Does Kangana Ranaut Deserve Our Fairness?Emergency was embroiled in controversies after several Sikh organisations across India, including in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, New Delhi, and other states, called for a ban on the film. They claimed that the film misrepresented their community and figures and distorted historical facts.
They approached the CBFC and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, demanding a ban on the film's screening. The controversies delayed the release of the film, which was earlier scheduled to hit the theatres on September 6.
Emergency, written by Ranaut and co-produced by Zee Studios and the actor's Manikarnika films, is based on the 21-month emergency period from 1975 to 1977, imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
