Kangana-starrer ‘Emergency’ to hit silver screen on January 17

Actor-BJP MP Kangana Ranaut on Monday announced that her much-awaited film “Emergency” will be released in theatres on January 17. The update comes a month after the actor-filmmaker said the team had finally received the censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after the film missed out on its September 6 release.

Ranaut, who plays the role of former prime minister Indira Gandhi in the political drama, shared the film’s release date on her official X page.

The caption of her post read: “January 17 2025 – The epic saga of the nation’s most powerful woman and the moment that altered India’s destiny. #Emergency – Unveils Only in cinemas on 17.01.2025!” “Emergency”, also written, directed and co-produced by Ranaut, was earlier scheduled to be released in September after multiple delays, but it couldn’t be screened as its certificate was stuck with the CBFC.

“Emergency” delves into the emergency that was imposed by former PM Indira Gandhi for 21 months and its aftermath.
