Emergency Box Office Collection Day 9

After failing to touch Rs 50 lakhs on day 8 (second Friday), Emergency saw 115% hike in collection on dya 9 (second Saturday). According to a report published in Sacnilk, Emergency raked in Rs 86 lakhs. Which took the overall collections of the movie to Rs 15.56 crores despite facing a competition from Sky Force.

Emergency Sees A Massive Hike In Occupancy

Interestingly, Emergency saw a hike in occupancy on the second Saturday despite a new release in theatres. The movie, which saw a footfall of 10.39% on second Friday (day 8), saw an occupancy of 19.40% on day 9 (second Saturday)

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 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".
