• A fan suggested that Emergency should be sent to the Oscars
• Ranaut shunned the idea calling the award 'silly'

Kangana Ranaut's Emergency, which ran into many controversies, premiered on Netflix last week. A fan who watched the film suggested that the film should be sent to the Oscars from India. However, the actor-director outrightly rejected the Oscar suggestion, calling the award 'silly'. She further took pride that India has the National Awards and that was enough for her.

While Emergency has been receiving polarising reactions from all quarters after its Netflix release, Kangana has been sharing all the positive reviews on her official X and Instagram pages.

A fan who was thoroughly impressed by Emergency, wrote on X, "#EmergencyOnNetflix should go for the Oscars from India. Kangana, what a film. Reposting the message on her Instagram Stories, she wrote, "But America wouldn't like to acknowledge its real face, how they bully, suppress and arm twist developing nations. It's been exposed in #emergency. They can keep their silly Oscar. We have National Awards (sic)."

That said, Emergency is now trending at the number 1 spot on the movies list on Netflix.

Here's the trailer:

Directed and produced by Kangana Ranaut, the film chronicles the Emergency months in India and how people went through it. She played former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film, while Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman and later actor Satish Kaushik featured in pivotal roles. The film was delayed after the Central Bureau of Film Certification (CBFC) withheld certification for several months, before finally giving it a U/A certifcate with a few cuts.

Emergency was produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films.
