Emergency Movie Reviews

Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency, a biopic on Indira Gandhi, has received largely unfavorable reviews from critics. The film is criticized for its lack of craft, weak execution, and an unconvincing portrayal of historical events. Indian Express calls it “confused” and “weak in craft,” while NDTV deems it a "lesson in how not to make a biopic." The Hollywood Reporter India points out the film’s irony but highlights its lack of self-awareness, whereas India Today describes it as a rushed, superficial take on history.

Verdict:

Despite its ambitious premise, Emergency fails to leave an impact, suffering from weak storytelling and an inconsistent approach to its subject. Critics agree that the film lacks depth and finesse, making it an underwhelming political drama.
