Kangana Ranaut has been raising eyebrows ever since the trailer of her film Emergency was released. The movie has been surrounded by various controversies and it also faced difficulties in obtaining certification from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However in a fresh update the examining committee has given the green light for a ‘UA’ certification provided the filmmakers make three cuts and supply factual sources for the contentious historical claims. Among the alterations suggested by the committee is a scene depicting Pakistani soldiers attacking Bangladeshi refugees—specifically where one soldier brutally smashes the face of an infant and another scene where three women are beheaded. The filmmakers were also instructed to replace an expletive shouted by a crowd member in reaction to a leaders death. Additionally the committee requested a change to the surname of a family referenced in one of the lines. The filmmakers were further asked to provide factual information for a line spoken by an actor portraying Nixon which includes disparaging references to Indian women. The CBFC also requested factually correct information for the line attributed to Churchill: “...Indians breed like rabbits.” Additionally the CBFC has asked for the sources from which the filmmakers have taken research references and statistical data cited in the film including details about Bangladeshi refugees court rulings and permissions for the use of archival footage from ‘Operation Bluestar.’ Kanganas film was originally slated to release on September 6 2024. However several reports claimed that due to delays in receiving certification from the CBFC the films release has been postponed. Later on September 6 Kangana herself officially announced that Emergency would not be released on the scheduled date. Meanwhile the trailer of the film has created a massive uproar among the Sikh community who claim that the film portrays a false narrative against them.
