Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' Faces Protests and Cancellations in Punjab

The film's portrayal of Sikh characters has drawn backlash from Sikh organizations, leading to halted screenings and heightened security at cinemas.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and Sikh organizations protested against 'Emergency,' claiming it misrepresents the Sikh community.
Most cinemas in Punjab, including in cities like Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Jalandhar, refrained from screening the film due to concerns over law and order.
The Mohali district administration directed malls not to show the movie, and several cinema owners refunded tickets after objections from activists.
Kangana Ranaut, the film's director and lead actress, dismissed the allegations as propaganda and accused protesters of harassment against art and artists.
The film has also faced criticism for its historical inaccuracies and creative liberties, with some reviewers calling it a poorly executed biopic.
