Emergency OTT Release Date & Platform: When Will Kangana Ranaut's Film Stream Online?

According to media reports, Netflix has acquired the OTT streaming rights for Kangana Ranaut's Emergency. Given the ongoing trend of Bollywood releases having a digital release post a theatrical run, Emergency is likely to stream online after two months of its release in theatres. As a result, Emergency is expected to release on OTT in after mid-March. However, an official announcement in this regard is yet to be made.

Meanwhile, Emergency was 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".
