Chronicles an important chapter from history, elevated by Kangana Ranaut’s fantastic performance… Some terrific dramatic moments stay with you… Docu-drama approach and abrupt / rushed conclusion of few episodes dilute the overall impact.

The Emergency (1975–1977) remains one of the most significant and dreadful political events in India’s history, with a profound impact on the nation. Director and lead actor Kangana Ranaut attempts to recreate this tumultuous chapter of history on the big screen with Emergency. Emergency is hindered by its overly dramatised approach and one-dimensional portrayals. The lack of narrative fluidity and context undermines the attempt to narrate an important chapter in Indian history. However, the movie has its share of impactful sequences.

Ratings:1.5/5 Review By: Shubhra Site:Indian Express
The much-delayed, riding-on-controversies ‘Emergency’, written and directed by Kangana Ranaut, is finally out. The long disclaimer states that the biographical feature ‘draws information from the life and real life events of one of the most respected politicians and former prime ministers, Smt Indira Gandhi’. For the most part, ‘Emergency’ is more a scattershot caricature of time and place and people, riddled with tacky computer graphics: in a preposterous sequence, Manekshaw, Indira, the members of the Parliament, including Vajpayee, join in a song. Not even Ranaut’s undoubted competence as an actor, armed with that distinctive prosthetic nose, white streak of hair and tasteful handloom saris which add to the remarkable resemblance to her subject, can save it.

Two things stand out in the long-delayed, unmitigatedly messy Emergency. One, the ‘story’ of the biopic is credited to director and lead actress Kangana Ranaut. This monumental muddle serves a solitary purpose. It demonstrates how not to make a biographical drama, especially one that brings contemporary events to the screen.

“India is Indira and Indira is India.” It was a pleasure getting to know the true Indira Gandhi through the lens of Kangana Ranaut. She effortlessly fitted into the role with her facial expressions and nasal twang. Soft yet powerful and firm, that was Indira and Kangana literally went into the skin of the character. This film in fact is Kangana’s career best performance after Queen. Emergency is no doubt engaging, immersive, impactful, but it may appear to be overstretched in certain places.
