Reports indicate that the CBFC’s clearance comes with specific conditions, requiring the filmmakers to make edits to a few scenes and add disclaimers related to the historical events depicted in the movie. While the certification process has been completed, the film’s new release date has yet to be announced. The U/A certification signifies that the film can be viewed by all age groups, though parental guidance is advised for younger audiences. The film was initially submitted to the CBFC on July 8, with a September 6 release in mind. However, the certification process caused a delay, and Kangana Ranaut had previously shared that the makers were still waiting for approval.

What Is Emergency About?

Emergency is a biographical political thriller that revolves around the life of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the imposition of the Emergency period from 1975 to 1977, a pivotal moment in Indian political history. The film’s subject matter has stirred controversy, particularly within Sikh communities, due to its portrayal of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a slain Sikh militant. Several Sikh organizations, including the Akal Takht and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, had called for the film to be banned, citing concerns about the depiction of the Sikh community.
