The buzz around Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ is still going strong, even after its release on Netflix last week. The actress has been sharing reactions she’s received on Instagram, and it’s clear that her film has struck a chord with many. One user suggested that ‘Emergency’ deserves to win an Oscar, but Kangana seems uninterested in the idea. In response to the tweet, “#EmergencyOnNetflix should go to the Oscars from India. Kangana, what a film,” she reposted with a message of her own: “But America won’t acknowledge its true face, how they bully, suppress, and pressure developing countries. This is exposed in Emergency. They can keep their fools’ Oscar. We have our National Awards.”
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta also had high praise for the film, admitting that he hadn’t planned to watch it initially but was pleasantly surprised. “Today I saw @KanganaTeam’s Emergency. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to watch it because I’d already made an assumption about it. I’m glad I was wrong. Kangana’s performance and direction, both are superb. Brilliant and world-class,” he tweeted.
Kangana responded by saying that the film industry should look beyond its prejudices and acknowledge good work. “Sanjay Ji, thanks for breaking the barriers of prejudice, my message to all film people is, never have any preconceived notions about me, don’t even try to understand me, I am beyond these things.”
The accolades for Kangana’s performance in ‘Emergency’ continue to pour in, with one user complimenting her acting and prompting her to reply, “People are saying my acting in #Emergency is phenomenal and my best work so far, can I surpass Queen, TWM 2, Fashion, Thalaivi? #Emergency, watch and find out.”
As for the film’s performance, ‘Emergency’ has been trending at number one on Netflix since its release on Friday, followed by Ajay Devgn’s ‘Aazad’ and Naga Chaitanya-Sai Pallavi’s ‘Thandel’. The movie tells the story of the Emergency period in India and features Kangana in the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The cast includes Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik.
It’s worth noting that ‘Emergency’ is based on the 21-month Emergency period imposed by the then-Prime Minister in 1975, a significant event in Indian history. With its powerful storyline and ensemble cast, it’s no wonder the film has generated so much interest and praise. As the conversation around ‘Emergency’ continues, it will be exciting to see how it fares in the coming days and whether it earns any more accolades.
In the midst of all the praise, Kangana’s candor and confidence are once again on full display, giving fans and critics alike a glimpse into her unapologetic and passionate approach to her craft. Whether you’re a fan of Kangana or just interested in Indian history and politics, ‘Emergency’ seems like a must-watch. So, if you haven’t already, log on to Netflix and experience it for yourself.
