Emergency 2025 Movie Review
Emergency, directed by and starring Kangana Ranaut, takes a deep dive into one of India’s most contentious political periods—the declaration of Emergency from 1975 to 1977 under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film aims to portray the political turmoil, personal struggles, and socio-economic challenges of that time.
The film chronicles the dramatic events surrounding the declaration of Emergency, focusing on Indira Gandhi’s decisions, her relationship with her son Sanjay Gandhi (played by Vishak Nair), and her interactions with political adversaries like Jayaprakash Narayan (Anupam Kher) and Atal Bihari Vajpayee (Shreyas Talpade). Kangana Ranaut’s direction aims to offer an in-depth exploration of the motives, conflicts, and consequences of Gandhi’s controversial decision.
However, the storytelling is uneven, with moments of brilliance overshadowed by heavy-handed dramatization. While some scenes succeed in evoking the gravity of the situation, others feel overly theatrical, detracting from the historical authenticity.
