The film is based on a 21-month long period, from 1975 to 1977, when the then prime minister Indira Gandhi unilaterally had a state of emergency declared across the country.
It released in India on July 28 after seeing a fair amount of buzz and controversy. However, the film did not fare well at the box office.
The flick stars Kirti Kulhari, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Anupam Kher.
