Emergency is a 2025 Indian Hindi-language historical biographical drama film. It was directed and co-produced by Indian actress and politician Kangana Ranaut, based on a screenplay by Ritesh Shah and story written by Ranaut. Based on the Indian Emergency (1975–77), it stars Ranaut as former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi.
Principal photography ran from July 2022 to January 2023. Originally scheduled for release on 6 September 2024, a postponement due to certification from the Central Board of Film Certification led to an official release on 17 January 2025. Emergency received mixed-to-negative reviews from film critics. The film was a box-office flop.
