We have National Awards.”

Moreover, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta also praised the movie. “Today I watched EMERGENCY by @KanganaTeam. Very frankly I wasn’t planning to as I had prejudged it. I am so glad that I was wrong. What a fantastic film by Kangana both performance & direction. Top Notch & World Class.”

To this, she replied, “Film industry must come out of its hate and prejudices and acknowledge good work. Thanks for breaking that barrier Sanjay ji, the barriers of preconceived notions. My message to all filmi intellectuals, never keep any notions about me.  Mujhe samajhne ki koshish bhi mat karna, main pahunch se bahar hoon. (Don’t try to figure me out, I am out of your reach).”

‘Emergency’ chronicles the politically turbulent atmosphere of the 1970s Emergency period in India. It seeks to offer a view of a defining moment in the nation’s socio-political history. The title was initially going to release on September 6, 2024. However, it attracted trouble for a long time. The film didn’t receive the certification initially and attracted backlash from several Sikh organisations for its portrayal of the community. The film finally hit theatres on January 17. Apart from headlining the film, Kangana Ranaut also served as the director and co-producer of ‘Emergency.’ Meanwhile, the film also stars Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, and the late Satish Kaushik in key roles.
