About Emergency

The biographical political thriller that delves into the life of former prime minister Indira Gandhi, has been directed and produced by Kangana. The film stars Kangana as late former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and details the final few years of her tenure, showing the Emergency and Operation Bluestar.

The film also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Ashok Chhabra, Mahima Chaudhry, Milind Soman, Vishak Nair and Satish Kaushik in key roles. Fans will see Anupam as late politician Jayaprakash Narayan, Shreyas as young Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Milind Soman as Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, Mahima Choudhary as Pupul Jayakar and the late Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram. After a long delay, Emergency released in cinemas on January 17.

According to a review by Hindustan Times, the political thriller “begins by tracking the events that led to the imposition of the Emergency in India in 1975. With a supporting cast like the late Satish Kaushik, Shreyas Talpade, and Anupam Kher, the film’s treatment feels like a political science lesson”.
