‘Emergency’ Twitter review: Netizens praise Kangana Ranaut for her unbiased portrayal of Indira Gandhi |

They say some things are worth the wait and Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ seems to fall under the same category. This isn’t a stand-alone personal opinion but the verdict of the internet.
Kangana Ranaut was supposed to release her historical political drama ‘Emergency’ in September 2024. However, owing to certain cuts suggested by the censor board, the movie’s release envelope was pushed.

The movie was under the radar right from the word go, as it chronicles one of the most crucial moments of India’s political books. However, now that the movie has made it to the theatres, netizens have showered nothing but love on the movie. They have praised Kangana for her unbiased portrayal of Indira Gandhi and lauded both her vision as a director and her hard work as an actor.
“Just watched #Emergency KanganaRanaut Ranaut’s portrayal of Indira Gandhi in #Emergency is both captivating and haunting.Kangana Ranaut’s sharp direction and writing, makes for a compelling watch, must-watch for fans of historical dramas and strong performances! #Emergencymovie,” wrote one of the netizens.

Internet users are impressed by the way facts and history have been presented.
A post reads – , “Just watched #Emergency. Terrific is the word. #KanganaRanaut is Brilliant as Indira Gandhi & as a director Kangana excels in giving a honest & real representation of one of the darkest times in India’s history. Absolutely worth the watch! Four Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #EmergencyMovie”

In addition, some have strongly raised their voice against those who are asking to ban the movie.
Wrote a user, “If you supported the release of ‘Padmaavat’, how can you justify banning ‘Emergency’? Disagreeing with Kangana Ranaut’s views is fine, but banning her movie is a clear violation of creative freedom and liberty. Watching the movie is always optional, isn’t it?”

Further, in a long post review, an internet user wrote in length about the story, direction, casting, and performances. The post reads – “India has witnessed several period dramas recently, most of which were below par, but Emergency is different. It can easily set the benchmark for how a period drama should be approached. Kangana shines as both the director and the actor, proving herself to be one of the best actors in India.
#Emergency is a bold biographical drama that delves into India’s most controversial political era—the 1975 Emergency. It unravels the suspension of democracy, unchecked power, and the personal struggles of Indira Gandhi, portrayed brilliantly by Kangana.
With an impeccable cast and nuanced storytelling, the film explores key events like forced sterilizations, the Bangladesh Liberation War, and Gandhi’s complex relationship with her son Sanjay. Kangana’s direction avoids propaganda, offering a balanced view of history that critiques power without oversimplifying it.
The guy who played Sanjay Gandhi did a great job too.”

Another internet user shared his review where the netizen mentioned enjoying the unbiased portrayal of Indira Gandhi, but at the same time felt that the movie didn’t need songs.
“Fantastic movie #Emergency 👌A seriously UNBIASED portrayal of #IndiraGandhi 💯✅
Although I strongly felt the songs were not required.. 🤝Anyways.. A very good job Kangana 👍❤️#mustwatch 🇮🇳,” the post stated.

‘Emergency’ also stars Anupam Kher portraying Jayaprakash Narayan, Shreyas Talpade playing late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Mahima Chaudhry in the role of Pupul Jayakar, Ashok Chhabra as Morarji Desai, Vishak Nair as Sanjay Gandhi, and the late Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram.
