Emergency is worth watching or not?

About Emergency, Umari Sandhu wrote on X, "Best thing about film : #KanganaRanaut MINDBLOWING PERFORMANCE! I don’t like Historical films, that’s not my cup of tea. But Kangana Stole the Show all the way (sic)."

Many on social media did not believe that the movie was good given how Kangana's movie choices have fared in the past, both critically and commercially. "Fir bhi disaster hi hogi (sic)," commented one while another one wrote, “The best thing about Emergency is that there is none of Kangana’s embarrassing, clumsy dancing because of the subject matter. Thank God (sic).”
