Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’ has finally released in cinemas on Friday, January 17 after much delay. It was orignally suppose to release in September 2024, but due to issues with the certification from the censor board, there was much delay. The CFFC finally granted it U/A certificate and suggested 13 cuts. But despite these changes, ‘Emergency’ has been banned in Punjab. The film has been getting rave reviews from all over and people are specially lauding Kangana for her portrayal of Indira Gandhi. It made over Rs 10 crore on the opening weekend.
On Monday, Kangana took to social media and expressed gratitude for all the love that the film is getting, while also expressing disappointment towards the ban in Punjab. Kangana said, “Main aap logon ka dil se aabhaar vyakt karti hoon, aapne hamari film ko kitna pyaar diya. Mere paas shabd hi nahi hai. Lekin, Mere dil mein abhi bhi kuch dard hai. (I’m truly thankful for all the love you have given to my film. I have no words to express my happiness, and yet, my heart is aching).”
She added, “Industry mein aisa kahaa jaata tha ke Punjab mein meri filmein bohot accha perform karti hai. Aur aaj yeh din hai jab meri film wahan release hi nahi ki jaa rahi. Aise hi kuch humle logon par Canada ya Britain mein bhi kiye jaa rahe hai. Kuch chuninda logon ne aag lagaayi hui hai aur iss aag mein hum aur aap jal rahe hai. Mere film, mere vichaar Mera desh ke prati lagaav yeh film darshaati hai. Aap film dekhke khud decide kijiye ke kya yeh film hamein todti hai ya jodti hai. (It was being said in the industry that my films performed the best in Punjab always and today is the day when my film Emergency is banned in Punjab. Similarly, there are been attacks on people in Britain and Canada. This is due to a few people who have created a rift and we are suffering because of that. My film shows my thought process and my love towards our country. You should watch the film and decide for yourself).”
Emergency also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Choudhry and the late Satish Kaushik.
