Movie Release
After much anticipation, Kangana Ranaut's political drama Emergency has received censor board clearance and is set to release in theatres on January 17, 2025. The film delves into the turbulent 1970s, chronicling the era when the Emergency was declared, a critical chapter in Indian democracy.
Written, directed, and led by Kangana Ranaut, Emergency portrays the life and legacy of India's first female Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. Sharing the release update on social media, Kangana said, “17th January 2025 – The epic saga of the nation’s most powerful woman and the moment that altered India’s destiny. #Emergency – Unveils Only in cinemas on 17.01.2025!”
Initially slated for a September 6, 2024 release, the film faced delays due to controversies and objections from Sikh groups over certain scenes and dialogues. After reviewing the content, the censor board mandated 13 edits, including the removal of violent scenes and altering a reference to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. The revised version has been granted a U/A certificate.
The film features an ensemble cast comprising Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik. Produced by Zee Studios, Manikarnika Films, and Renu Pitti, Emergency boasts a musical score by Sanchit Balhara and G.V. Prakash Kumar, with dialogues and screenplay penned by Ritesh Shah.
