Emergency Movie

EMERGENCY is the story of a woman that shaped India’s history. Indira Gandhi (Kangana Ranaut) becomes the third Prime Minister of India two years after the death of her father and the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (Sanjay M Gurbaxani). She is considered a weak leader who... would be dominated by the Cabinet. But soon, she shows her worth. She successfully gets cooperation from the Russian and French governments during the 1971 crisis with Pakistan. She also outsmarts US President Nixon (Alexander Scott Young). After India’s victory in the war, her popularity rises considerably. Soon, however, the country is plagued by strikes and hartals, denting her popularity. In 1975, she loses a decisive case in Allahabad High Court. The Court makes it clear that her victory in the election is null and void and hence, she’ll have to step down from the post of the Prime Minister. But motivated by her reckless son Sanjay Gandhi (Vishak Nair), she does the unthinkable – she imposes an Emergency in the country. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
