A Powerful Tale of India’s Past: Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ Set to Release in January 2025
Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has finally unveiled the highly anticipated release date for her biographical political thriller Emergency, a film that promises to bring one of the most defining moments in India’s history to the big screen. The movie, which sees Ranaut in the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, will hit theatres on January 17, 2025.
Ranaut shared the exciting news with her followers on Instagram, posting a captivating poster of the film along with the caption, “17th January 2025 – The epic saga of the nation’s most powerful woman and the moment that altered India’s destiny. #Emergency – Unveils Only in cinemas on 17.01.2025!” The film’s release will mark a significant moment in Indian cinema, as it explores a crucial and turbulent period in India’s political history.
Emergency focuses on the dramatic 21-month emergency period imposed by Indira Gandhi between 1975 and 1977, a period that had a profound impact on the country’s democratic institutions and its political landscape. Ranaut’s portrayal of Gandhi has already sparked considerable interest, given the controversial nature of this chapter in Indian history.
Earlier in October, Ranaut had announced that the film had received its censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), paving the way for the film’s upcoming release. Expressing her gratitude to fans for their patience and support, she wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “We are glad to announce we have received the censor certificate for our movie Emergency, we will be announcing the release date soon. Thank you for your patience and support.”
Emergency promises to be a gripping and thought-provoking film, providing audiences with a powerful look at one of the most transformative events in India’s history. With Ranaut’s commanding performance and the film’s exploration of a key political figure, Emergency is poised to be one of the most talked-about films of early 2025.
