A week ago two films released at the Hindi box office and one of them is Emergency. The historical biographical film based on the Indian Emergency (1975–1977), starring Kangana Ranaut, was released on January 17, 2025. Also starring Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade and Milind Soman, the new film has completed its first week of release in theatres. ,
Emergency ends first week; fail to lift
Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, Emergency received a lukewarm response from cinemagoers. It maintained a low holding at the box office in seven days. The Kangana Ranaut-starrer has ended its first week on a sad note. The political drama is competing with Azaad which has also completed one week in theatres.
Flash of emergency among Azad and others
Although Emergency did not perform well, it still took the first position in the top 5 running films at the Hindi box office. Other films in the list include Azaad, Pushpa 2 (Hindi), Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Game Changer (Hindi).
Emergency will clash with the much-awaited film, Sky Force, starting tomorrow. The upcoming aerial action starrer is Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahriya and Sara Ali Khan. Hopefully, January’s fortunes will change at the Hindi box office, which has been quite sluggish so far.

By the time it was released this year, the film lost its hype and anticipation. Furthermore, it was not released in theaters in Punjab due to protests across the state.
Kangana Ranaut has played the role of late Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi in Emergency. Anupam Kher has been cast in the role of Jaiprakash Narayan. Shreyas Talpade and Milind Soman play the roles of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Sam Manekshaw respectively.
