Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express For the most part, ‘Emergency’ is more a scattershot caricature of time and place and people, riddled with tacky computer graphics... Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Ishmeet Nagpal Common Sense Media To describe this movie as a failure is perhaps too kind. Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express It's a fallacy that Kangana Ranaut is a good actor. In her Indira Gandhi biopic Emergency, she proves that she's a poor director as well. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Rishabh Suri Hindustan Times Emergency’s scramble to cram as much as possible into one film lets it down. It’s watchable if you want to see good acting. Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Taniya Dutta The National (UAE) Emergency attempts to capture a tumultuous period in India's history but falls short in both execution and engagement. While her performance of Gandhi is commendable, Ranaut's film lacks depth and consistency. Rated: 2/5 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV ...Emergency is a film that does not know where to draw the line. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Silver S I’ll admit it — I wasn’t a Kangana Ranaut fan before watching Emergency ( just saw it on Netflix) But this film completely changed my mind. It’s a well-made, absorbing political drama that pulls you right into one of India’s most controversial chapters. The production design, pacing, and period authenticity are spot-on, keeping the story grounded while still feeling cinematic. The real game-changer, though, is Kangana’s performance as Indira Gandhi. Phenomenal doesn’t even begin to cover it. She captures the authority, composure, and quiet ruthlessness of the character with remarkable precision — from her expressions to her body language. It’s not just a portrayal; it’s a transformation. I walked in skeptical and walked out a fan. Emergency is proof that when Kangana commits to a role, she delivers something unforgettable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
