Emergency movie review: Kangana Ranaut's fine performance as Indira Gandhi makes this political drama bearable

Hindustan Times  

Emergency movie review: I walked inside the theatre to watch Emergency, and that prosthetic nose on Kangana Ranaut’s face, trying to help her look like the late Indira Gandhi- combined with the involuntary facial twitches- made it clear ‘this is going to be a caricaturish portrayal’. Emergency movie review: Kangana Ranaut plays former PM Indira Gandhi in this political thriller. But much like she says in the film ‘Indira is India, and India is Indira’, Emergency too can stand as a film only because of Kangana, who changes your perception about it as things progress. But the film doesn’t believe in subtlety- for example, Indira's remorse for imposing the Emergency didn’t need to be explained via ghastly mirror reflections.
