On Monday, Kangana took to her Instagram to share a video message, where she not only thanked fans for the love shown on the film but also commented on the protests taking place in Canada and Britain over her film. “Doston mere film, mere vichaar aur mera desh ke prati kya lagav hai woh iss film se pradarshit hota hai. Aap yeh film dekh ke khud nirnaye lijiye kya yeh film hume jodti hai ya todti hai (My principles and my attachment towards my county are proven through this film. You watch the film and decide if it breaks us or brings us together),” she said.
An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film read, “The intermission comes as Indira announces the emergency, and by then, you are close to giving up. But there’s a change of gears as you settle into your seats again, and Kangana finally takes charge. Some power-packed moments in the second half, combined with a few emotional ones, salvage Emergency. Kangana, as an actor, is good, so you are willing to forgive her for that prosthetic nose. Watch out for her, specifically in the scene where she faces a huge personal loss.”
Emergency, co-produced by Zee Studios and Kangana’s Manikarnika Films, is a period political thriller that also stars Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhary, and Milind Soman among others.
