Kangana Ranaut, actor and BJP MP, has officially announced the new release date for her much-anticipated film Emergency. The historical-political drama will now debut in theaters on January 17, 2025, after being postponed from its earlier scheduled release on September 6, 2024.
The delay was attributed to extended clearance processes. However, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted the film its censor certificate in October 2024, setting the stage for its upcoming release.
Directed by and starring Kangana Ranaut, Emergency portrays one of India’s most turbulent political chapters — the Emergency period of 1975–1977, imposed by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Ranaut plays Indira Gandhi, bringing to life the political turmoil and societal challenges of the time. The film is expected to be a gripping narrative on the resilience of democracy and its vulnerabilities.
Sharing the release date on social media, Ranaut expressed gratitude towards her fans, stating, “January 17, 2025, will mark the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. Emergency is not just a film but a story that holds immense significance for every Indian.”
With its powerful storyline and stellar cast, Emergency aims to leave a lasting impact, delving deep into the historical events that shaped modern India.
