Emergency is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language historical biographical drama film[7] directed and co-produced by Kangana Ranaut, based on a screenplay by Ritesh Shah and story written by Ranaut.[8] Based on the Indian Emergency, it stars Ranaut as former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi.[9][10]
Principal photography commenced in July 2022 and ended in January 2023.[11] It was originally scheduled for release on 6 September 2024, but was postponed due to pending certification of the Central Board of Film Certification.[12][13] Later, it was cleared by CBFC and released on 17 January 2025 to negative reviews from film critics.[14][15][16] The film also emerged as a box-office flop.[17][18][19]
Following India’s independence, Indira Gandhi rises within the Congress Party, initially positioned as a puppet by the Syndicate. She asserts her authority by opposing their stance on Operation Searchlight and engaging with global powers, gradually consolidating control with some support from the opposition. Her decisive leadership during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War earns her nationwide popularity. However, a 1975 verdict by the Allahabad High Court invalidates her election, prompting her to declare a national Emergency, citing threats to democracy. Civil liberties are suspended, the press is censored, and opposition leaders are jailed. Her son Sanjay Gandhi gains influence during this period, implementing controversial programs such as forced sterilizations and slum demolitions. On 15 August 1975, Indira prepares to end the Emergency, but backs down following the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Bangladesh. Eventually, after consulting philosopher J. Krishnamurti and recognizing the harm caused, she lifts the Emergency in 1977 and calls for elections, which result in a defeat for the Congress and her brief arrest. Years later, during a famine, she visits a neglected village and personally promises aid, restoring her public image and leading to her political comeback. The narrative follows her personal losses, including Sanjay Gandhi’s death in a plane crash, and rising unrest in Punjab under Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Refusing to remove her Sikh bodyguards despite warnings, she is assassinated by them on 31 October 1984. The film concludes with her final speech in Odisha, where she declares her life’s purpose was not to rule India but to serve it.
