After months of anticipation and multiple delays, Kangana Ranaut’s directorial ‘Emergency’ is finally set to hit the big screen.

The recently released trailer has already captured significant attention, sparking a mix of reactions across social media platforms.
Emergency Trailer
The trailer introduces Indira Gandhi as "India's most iconic... and controversial leader," highlighting her famous declaration, "I am the cabinet." The narrative appears to focus on her authoritarian approach, with the film underscoring her controversial belief that "India is Indira... Indira is India."
Alongside Kangana, the film features a talented ensemble cast. Shreyas Talpade portrays Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Milind Soman takes on the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, and Vishak Nair plays Sanjay Gandhi.
Kangana’s portrayal of Indira Gandhi has sparked debate, particularly her mimicry of the late Prime Minister’s voice. While some viewers found the voice portrayal odd in the trailer, many believe it will feel more authentic in the full film.
