Kangana Ranaut’s political drama Emergency recently debuted on an OTT platform, sparking discussions across social media platforms. The film explores the controversial 21-month Emergency imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975 and has received mixed reactions, ranging from critical praise to audience admiration.
Kangana Dismisses Oscar Entry Idea
Amidst the buzz, a viewer passionately suggested that Emergency should be India’s official entry to the Oscars, calling it a cinematic masterpiece. However, Kangana firmly rejected the notion, arguing that the U.S. would never acknowledge a film exposing its global political tactics. She emphasized that Emergency sheds light on how powerful nations manipulate developing countries and asserted that she values India’s National Awards over Hollywood’s recognition. She wrote, “America won’t accept how it bullies and pressures weaker nations. Let them keep their Oscars, we have our National Awards.”
Sanjay Gupta Admits Misjudgment
Veteran filmmaker Sanjay Gupta also shared his thoughts, admitting that he had underestimated the film initially but was pleasantly surprised after watching it. He applauded Kangana’s direction and performance, calling it “world-class”.
A Power-Packed Political Thriller
Directed by and starring Kangana as Indira Gandhi, Emergency features a stellar cast, including Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik. As the film continues to fuel debates and discussions, its influence on audiences and the industry remains a hot topic.
