Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis reviews Kangana Ranaut's Emergency, calls it 'good representation of atrocities...'

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday attended a special screening of Kangana Ranaut-starrer Emergency film. In the visuals captured by ANI, Kangana, who is also a politician, could be seen exchanging warm greetings with the Chief Minister as he arrived at a theatre in Mumbai to watch the film.

After the screening, Devendra Fadnavis said, as quoted by the Indian Express, "This is an important documentation of a time in Indian history where people’s democratic rights were quashed, the constitution wasn’t adhered to, and lakhs of leaders were shut in jails. Emergency is a good representation of the atrocities committed on the people during those times." 

The Maharashtra CM, in addition, also praised Kangana Ranaut's portrayal of former Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi in the film. "I want to congratulate her for acing the role. The film is not just about the emergency, but also what happened before… the 1971 war, and in many ways, it is like seeing the late Prime Minister’s life journey. It is a history of India that reminds us of the importance of keeping democracy alive," he said.
