Kangana met Ranaut’s latest offering, emergency, disappointing performance at the box office. Based on the story of former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi, the political drama fell during its early weekend and ended her dramatic run for Rs 22 crore globally.
With another disappointing affair, the Emergency Global turned into the 11th consecutive flop of Kangana Ranaut at the Global Box Office. Why are there emergency bombing for 5 major reasons here.
1. Multiple stay
The delay often kills the buzz! Emergency saw several delays in release, which obstructed its discussion among the audience.
Initially, it was to be released in October 2023; However, it proceeded to 14 June, 2024 and then by 6 September 2024. In addition, the film faced another delay due to sensor issues, and finally, it was released on January 17, 2025.
2. Poor promotion
The film cannot generate very important curiosity among the audience with its cold promotion. Teaser, trailer and songs failed to give the necessary discussions for the performance of their box-office.
Kangana Ranaut promoted it through several interviews and podcasts; However, even his audience did not excite much.
3. Star factor shortage
Although there was a contingent of artists during the Emergency, it had no star factor! The options of the audience have seen massive changes in the later times of the police. The lack of a star factor is one of the main reasons that Kangana Ranaut’s emergency failed at the emergency box office.
4. Limited appeal and documentary feel
The biography drama had a limited appeal among the audience. It had a documentary that fulfills a special section of the audience.
At the time when Big Action films are failing, the emergency can only succeed when it is opened to the mouth of a supercatable word. It was not even so! The film received an average review among the audience, which sealed its fate on the early day.
5. Political inclination and biased
Kangana Ranaut follows a special ideology and has a political inclination towards the ruling party. His prejudice was clearly visible in Indira Gandhi’s attitude of character and events.
After all, film promotion falls in the category of films, which is nowadays to please the ruling government.
