"Emergency" is a bold and ambitious biopic that attempts to capture the essence of Indira Gandhi's life and the controversial period of the Emergency in India. While Kangana Ranaut delivers a powerful and transformative performance in the titular role, the film ultimately falters in its execution, leaving a mixed impression.   
 
What Works:
 
Kangana Ranaut's Performance: Ranaut disappears completely into the role of Indira Gandhi, capturing her charisma, authority, and complexities with remarkable nuance. Her physical transformation is equally impressive, and she commands the screen with an undeniable presence.   
 
Production Design and Cinematography: The film boasts impressive production design that effectively recreates the era, immersing the audience in the political and social climate of the time. The cinematography is also noteworthy, capturing the grandeur and tension of the period.   
 
What Could Have Been Better:
 
Historical Accuracy: While the film attempts to depict historical events, it takes significant creative liberties, leading to concerns about historical accuracy and potential misrepresentation.   
 
Pacing and Narrative: The film suffers from pacing issues, with some scenes feeling rushed while others drag on unnecessarily. The narrative often feels disjointed, making it difficult to fully grasp the complexities of the political landscape and the impact of the Emergency on the nation.   
 
Character Development: Beyond Indira Gandhi, the film struggles to develop other characters convincingly. Many supporting characters feel underdeveloped, hindering the emotional depth and resonance of the narrative.
Overall:
 
"Emergency" is a visually striking film with a powerful central performance by Kangana Ranaut. However, its historical liberties and narrative shortcomings prevent it from achieving its full potential. While it offers a glimpse into a pivotal period in Indian history, it ultimately falls short of delivering a truly insightful and nuanced portrayal of Indira Gandhi and the Emergency.
