Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency recently premiered on Netflix and she has been actively sharing audience's reactions and reviews on her Instagram account. Interestingly, a netizen suggested that the film deserves to win an Oscar, but Kangana appeared unenthusiastic about the prospect, seemingly unfazed by the idea of Oscar recognition.
Kangana Ranaut calls Oscar 'silly'
The netizen said, "#EmergencyOnNetflix should go for the Oscars from India. Kangana, what a film." Kangana responded, "But America wouldn't like to acknowledge its real face, how they bully suppress and arm twist developing nations. It's been exposed in #emergency. They can keep their silly Oscar. We have National Awards."
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta hailed Emergency, noting, “Today I watched EMERGENCY by @KanganaTeam. Very frankly I wasn't planning to as I had prejudged it. I am so glad that I was wrong. What a fantastic film by Kangana both performance & direction. Top Notch & World Class.”
"Film industry must come out of its hate and prejudices and acknowledge good work, thanks for breaking that barrier Sanjay ji, the barriers of preconceived notions, my message to all filmi intellectuals, never keep any notions about me, mujhe samajhne ki koshish bhi mat karna, main pahunch se bahar hoon (Don't try to figure me out, I am out of your reach)," the actress replied.
About the movie: Kangana Ranaut's directorial debut, Emergency, is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language historical biographical drama film that delves into the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, played by Ranaut herself. The film is based on the Indian Emergency and is written by Ranaut, with a screenplay by Ritesh Shah. Principal photography took place from July 2022 to January 2023, and the film was initially set to release on September 6, 2024, but was postponed due to certification issues with the Central Board of Film Certification. Emergency finally hit theaters on January 17, 2025, receiving mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and underperforming at the box office.
