Kangana Ranaut's much-anticipated film 'Emergency' finally hit theatres on January 17, and audiences are already showering it with praise. Social media users have been quick to comment on the film, with many stating that it 'deserves all the praise'. Some netizens even went as far as to say, 'Kangana is Indira', referencing the iconic phrase, 'India is Indira, Indira is India'. One user shared, 'One of the best films I’ve seen in a long time. Kangana is outstanding as both director and actor, proving why she is the best. I will say Kangana is Indira. Congratulations to the entire team'. Another added, 'Superb movie with outstanding acting and a great cast. The film showcases Indira Gandhi like never before and unveils all facets of her personality, including her vulnerability'.

Anupam Kher, who stars alongside Kangana in the film, also took to social media to share his thoughts. He wrote, 'My dearest #Kangana! Congratulations and my best wishes for the release of Emergency! It was a pleasure and also inspirational to be directed by you. You’ve made this film with immense compassion and sincerity. You did both roles, that of the director and actor, brilliantly. Your courage to make films with such varied themes is truly admirable'.

The film has been trending on Google ever since its release, with positive word-of-mouth amplifying its reach. However, the journey to the screen hasn’t been smooth. 'Emergency' faced a six-month delay after running into issues with obtaining a clearance certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Despite these hurdles, the movie is making waves, shining a light on one of the most controversial and significant periods in contemporary Indian history.

Set against the backdrop of 1975, the movie explores the political and social upheaval of the time. The film centres on Indira Gandhi, India’s then-Prime Minister, as she navigates the 21-month Emergency period.
