Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' Faces Protests and Mixed Box Office Performance

The political drama on India's 1975 Emergency sees modest earnings, international disruptions, and regional bans after its January 17 release.

Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency,' based on the 1975 Emergency in India, opened to mixed reviews and modest box office earnings, totaling ₹10.81 crore domestically by Day 4.
The film has faced significant protests, including disruptions by Sikh organizations in Punjab and pro-Khalistan activists halting a screening in London.
Protests in Punjab led to limited screenings in key cities like Ludhiana and Amritsar, while strained India-Bangladesh relations prevented its release in Bangladesh.
Despite a slow start, the film saw growth over its opening weekend but experienced a sharp drop in earnings on Day 4, raising concerns about its sustainability.
Kangana Ranaut, who directed, produced, and starred in the film, urged audiences to watch and judge the movie for its message of unity, amidst ongoing controversies.
