Emergency is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language historical biographical drama film directed and co-produced by Kangana Ranaut, based on a screenplay by Ritesh Shah and story written by Ranaut. Based on the Indian Emergency, it stars Ranaut as former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi.
Principal photography commenced in July 2022 and ended in January 2023. It was originally scheduled for release on 6 September 2024, but was postponed due to pending certification of the Central Board of Film Certification. Later, it was cleared by CBFC and released on 17 January 2025 to mixed-to-negative reviews from film critics. The film also emerged as a box-office flop.
