Emergency Box Office Collection Day 2: Kangana’s Film Sees Hike; Crosses 6Cr On 1st Saturday

Emergency Box Office Collection Day 2: Kangana Ranaut's latest project, Emergency, where she steps into the shoes of Indira Gandhi, has finally made its way to the big screen after much anticipation. The film, which Kangana not only stars in but also has written, directed, and co-produced, delves into the era of the Indian emergency under the leadership of the late prime minister. With its trailer having stirred conversations since its release last year, the movie has been among the most discussed topics recently.

The historical biopic also stars a talented cast including Anupam Kher as Jayaprakash Narayan, Shreyas Talpade portraying Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and Milind Soman in the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. Additionally, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, and Satish Kaushik play significant roles, adding depth to the film's narrative. Initially slated for a September release the previous year, Emergency's debut on the silver screen faced delays due to issues obtaining the censorship certificate. As Emergency has hit the screens on January 17, it opened to mixed reviews.

Emergency Sees Hike In Footfalls On Day 2

Interestingly, Emergency saw a hike in occupancy on day 2. The movie, which saw a footfall of 13.60% on the opening day, recorded an occupancy of 15.41% on day 2.

Meanwhile, Emergency is once again mired by controversy as Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) demanded a ban on the release in Punjab citing it might spark outrage in the Sikh community. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami on Thursday wrote to Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann. This didn't go down well with Kangana who stated, "This is complete harassment of art and the artist, from Punjab many cities are reporting that these people are not allowing Emergency to be screened. I have utmost respect for all religions and after studying and growing up in Chandigarh I have closely observed and followed Sikh religion. This is a complete lie and propaganda to tarnish my image and harm my film #Emergency".
