Kangana Ranaut’s portrayal of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Emergency has been making waves in Indian cinema. Released on January 17, 2025, the film opened with a solid collection of Rs. 2.5 crore, outpacing its competition, Azaad, which released on the same date. Now, nearing its two-week run in theaters, Emergency has crossed the Rs. 17 crore mark, with expectations to hit Rs. 20 crore by the end of the week.
The film’s performance was bolstered by the Republic Day weekend, with collections rising notably on Saturday, January 25. The movie saw a 112.5% increase in earnings, going from Rs. 0.4 crore on Friday to Rs. 0.85 crore on Saturday. Sunday brought in another increase of 35.2%, reaching Rs. 1.15 crore. However, the following Monday saw a sharp decline, with the film earning only Rs. 0.2 crore, which was similar to the estimated earnings on Tuesday.
Here’s a day-wise breakdown of Emergency‘s box office collection:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹2.5 Cr
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹3.6 Cr
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹4.25 Cr
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹1.05 Cr
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹1 Cr
- Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹1 Cr
- Day 7 (Thursday): ₹0.9 Cr
- Week 1 Total: ₹14.3 Cr
- Day 8 (2nd Friday): ₹0.4 Cr

As Emergency edges closer to the Rs. 20 crore mark, the release of Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force may shift the box office dynamics, making it interesting to watch how Emergency fares in the coming weeks.
