Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ to Premiere on Netflix This March

Bollywood actress and filmmaker Kangana Ranaut has officially announced the OTT release date for her historical drama, Emergency. The film, which hit theaters on January 17, 2025, is set to premiere on Netflix on March 17, 2025.

Emergency portrays the turbulent period of the 1975-77 Emergency in India, with Ranaut playing the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The movie had a challenging journey to its theatrical release, facing multiple delays, censorship hurdles, and protests from certain groups regarding its depiction of historical events.

Despite these controversies, the film managed to garner attention for its bold subject matter. However, its box office performance remained modest, earning approximately ₹21.65 crore in India. With its upcoming Netflix release, Emergency is expected to reach a wider audience, allowing viewers to revisit one of India’s most debated political chapters from the comfort of their homes.

The OTT release is anticipated to spark further discussions, especially among those interested in Indian history and political dramas. Fans and critics alike are eager to see how the film will be received on the digital platform.
