Emergency review

The ABP Live review of the film reads: Kangana Ranaut takes on a dual role, starring in and directing the film. Despite facing censorship hurdles and undergoing significant cuts, Kangana persevered to bring the movie to the big screen. Tackling a project of this nature is a daunting task, as it delves into a pivotal chapter of India's history. While Kangana deserves credit for her ambitious endeavour and for marshaling an impressive ensemble cast, her direction ultimately falls short of leaving a lasting impression. Unlike her acting, which often dazzles, her direction is merely satisfactory. 

Kangana Ranaut's Emergency, which faced controversy over its censor certificate and alleged misrepresentation of the Sikh community, finally hit theaters on January 17 after multiple delays.

Directed and produced by Ranaut, the film depicts the 21-month Emergency imposed in 1975 by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, with Ranaut portraying the political leader.

Following its release, the film was not screened in Punjab due to protests by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and Sikh organizations.
