Mrunal Thakur recently reviewed Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency, calling it a “masterpiece” and praising the actress-filmmaker for consistently pushing boundaries. Despite underperforming at the box office, the political drama has received acclaim for its execution.
Mrunal watched the film in theatres with her father and took to Instagram to share her thoughts. “I just watched Emergency in theaters with my father, and I’m still reeling from the experience! As a huge fan of Kangana Ranaut, I’ve been eagerly awaiting to witness this film on big screens and IT WAS A MASTERPIECE,” she wrote.
Reflecting on Kangana’s journey as an actor, Mrunal continued, “From Gangster to Queen to Tanu Weds Manu to Manikarnika, Thalaivi, and now Emergency, Kangana has consistently pushed boundaries and inspired me with her incredible talent. This film is no exception—the attention to detail, the camera work, costumes, and performances are all top-notch!”
Mrunal also praised Kangana’s directorial skills. “Kangana, you’ve outdone yourself as a Director! My favorite scene…The army officer’s poignant moment with the binoculars, transitioning to the other side of the river bank and capturing the emotion perfectly. The screenplay, dialogues, music, and editing are all seamless and engaging.”
She lauded the performances of the cast, including Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry, Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, and the late Satish Kaushik. “Every actor brought their A-game! Kangana, you’re not just an actor; you’re a true artist and inspiration. Your courage in taking on challenging roles is admirable, and your dedication to your craft is evident in every frame.”
Urging audiences to watch the film, Mrunal added, “If you haven’t seen Emergency yet, please do yourself a favor and quickly catch it in theaters! It’s a must-watch for every Indian, and I guarantee you’ll leave inspired, motivated, and even a little tearful.”
The film, which released on January 17, chronicles the political turmoil during India’s Emergency period. Kangana portrayed former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, while Anupam Kher played Jayaprakash Narayan, and Shreyas Talpade essayed the role of Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The cast also featured Mahima Chaudhry as Pupul Jayakar, Vishak Nair as Sanjay Gandhi, Ashok Chhabra as Morarji Desai, and Satish Kaushik as Jagjivan Ram.
