Kangana Ranaut recently made waves after the release of her highly controversial film Emergency on Netflix. The film, which portrays the turbulent period of India’s Emergency declared by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has sparked a wide array of reactions since its debut. While some viewers have praised the film’s bold take on history, others have criticized it for its handling of sensitive issues.
Amid this ongoing debate, one fan, impressed by the film’s powerful narrative, suggested that Emergency be submitted as India’s entry for the Oscars. However, Kangana, known for her outspoken nature, vehemently rejected the idea. She took to her social media platforms, particularly Instagram and X, to share her thoughts, dismissing the Oscar as a “silly” award. In her post, Kangana made it clear that she valued India’s National Awards over the American accolades. She proudly remarked, “We have National Awards,” adding that the U.S. would never acknowledge the true face of its actions, as exposed in Emergency.
This statement reflected her ongoing critique of Western powers and their influence on global narratives.
Despite the film receiving mixed reviews, Kangana has been quick to share the positive feedback she has received. In response to one comment praising her performance, she pointed out that many have called her portrayal in Emergency her best work yet, even comparing it to her iconic roles in Queen, Tanu Weds Manu 2, Fashion, and Thalaivi.
Directed and produced by Kangana herself, Emergency chronicles a critical chapter in Indian history. In addition to Kangana as Indira Gandhi, the film features an ensemble cast, including Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik. After facing significant delays due to censorship issues, the film was finally granted a U/A certification, with a few cuts.
