Kangana Ranaut’s Directorial Debut ‘Emergency’ Breaks Her Own Records with a Stellar Opening Day!

Arre bhai, grab your popcorn and settle in because Bollywood’s drama queen, Kangana Ranaut, is at it again! And trust me, it’s masaledar enough to keep you entertained for days! 😎

Kangana’s Emergency Breakthrough

Kangana’s latest flick, Emergency, has stormed the box office with a Friday opening of ₹2.35 crore. Not bad, haan? Especially when you compare it with her previous attempts. Her 2023 aerial action flick, Tejas, barely took off with ₹1.25 crore. And let’s just say, Dhaakad didn’t exactly dhaakad it with ₹1.20 crore. Looks like Emergency is Kangana’s lucky charm – her biggest opening in the last five years! 🤑

Before this, the closest she got to a dhamaka was in January 2020 with Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s sports drama Panga, which opened to ₹2.70 crore. Oh, the pre-pandemic days when we actually went to cinemas without worrying about masks!

The Plot Thickens

In this political drama, Kangana takes on the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film dives into the 21-month period of Emergency from 1975 to 1977. But wait, the real drama unfolded off-screen! With controversies surrounding its censor certificate and allegations of misrepresenting the Sikh community, Emergency faced quite the rollercoaster before hitting the screens.

Last year, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) sent a legal notice to the film’s producers. Their accusation? Misrepresenting Sikh history and characters. Talk about drama behind the drama!

Just a day before the release, SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami wrote to Punjab’s CM, demanding a ban. This led to the movie being a no-show in many cinemas across Punjab, with police forces stationed outside theaters. Kangana, as expected, had her two cents to add, calling the SGPC’s actions an attack on “art and the artist.” 🎭

Kiran’s Gyan

Bhaiyon aur behnon, in Bollywood, controversy is like namak in a curry – some say too much, but without it, kahaani mein mazaa nahi aata! Whether it’s Kangana’s latest controversy or her filmi success, one thing is for sure – the show must go on! So, let’s keep our eyes peeled for the next big dhamaka!
