The film details the pre-emergency incidents following during emergency and post-emergency consequences. It also involves the tragic public assassination of Indira Gandhi in1984, Sanjay Gandhi in 1980 and Rajiv Gandhi in 1991. Indira Gandhi took charge as the Prime Minister in 1966 after the sudden and tragic death of Shri Lal Bahadur shashtri. Facing various ups and downs in her political career, Indira’s life met a tragic end. 

Apparently without bearing any official position in government, Sanjay Gandhi wields strong influence in policy making. Known for his aggressive political style and regarded as chief architect of various arbitrary policies imposed and overshadowed during emergency, Sanjay Gandhi was an influential figure. However, his short yet remarkable political life was cut short in a tragic plane crash in 1980. Later Rajiv Gandhi created interest in politics and took over her mother’s position as Prime Minister continuing the legacy and oppression of Congress in the Nation. Despite credited of liberating Indian economy Rajiv Gandhi face immense criticism and was also assassinated publicly by suicide bomber in 1991. 

Zee Studios is incharge of distribution of the film ‘Emergency’, co-produced by Kangana Ranaut alongwith Renu Pitti. After remarkable performances of politically historic movies such as Kashmir Files and Tashkent Files, people await “The Emergency” eagerly.
