recently attended a special screening of Kangana Ranaut’s much-anticipated film, ‘Emergency,’ in Mumbai. Sharing his reflections on the historical drama, Sadhguru commended Kangana’s direction and performance, calling them “extraordinary” and praising the film for its powerful portrayal of a pivotal chapter in India’s history.
“Playing popular roles is not easy, and I think Kangana has done a great job in this film,” Sadhguru remarked. “A very complex subject but presented fantastically. For the scope of things that are there, to condense it into two and a half hours is not an easy thing to do.”
Sadhguru also underscored the film’s relevance for today’s youth, particularly those who did not experience the Emergency firsthand. “For the younger generation, it’s very important, especially those of them who were not here at that time,” he said. “In two and a half hours, you get to see the major events that happened and shaped the nation in many ways. As a movie, it’s spectacularly presented. Both Kangana’s direction and her performance are extraordinary. It’s one of the finest performances I have seen.”
‘Emergency’ has been receiving widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences. Kangana Ranaut’s dual role as actor and director has drawn accolades, with many hailing her portrayal of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi as transformative and visionary. The film’s ensemble cast—featuring standout performances by Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, and Vishak Nair—has also been celebrated for bringing authenticity and depth to their roles.
Critics have highlighted the film’s meticulous attention to historical detail, gripping storytelling, and GV Prakash Kumar’s hauntingly evocative score. On social media, viewers have described ‘Emergency’ as a “brilliant depiction of history” and a “must-watch for all generations.”
As Kangana Ranaut continues to push boundaries in Indian cinema, her work in ‘Emergency’ serves as a testament to her commitment to storytelling and her fearless approach to tackling challenging subjects. The film not only sheds light on one of India’s most turbulent periods but also cements Kangana’s place as a visionary force in Bollywood.
