Kangana plays Indira like an autocrat and keeps reinforcing how under Indira’s leadership, the sanctity of democracy was not respected. She declares “India is Indira and Indira is India” and “Main hi cabinet hun.” Indira’s in the film pointedly declare that she is in politics for her own benefit and not for the welfare of the nation. But she also says with tears in her eyes, “Nafrat, aur mila kya hai mujhe iss desh se (What have I got from this country besides hate)?” The film also declares son Sanjay Gandhi as one of the biggest villains in Indira’s life.
In India, biopics are often treated as pieces of hero worship but in Emergency, it is obvious that Kangana has made this film to paint Indira as an autocratic leader who did not have the nation’s best interest at heart. It is to be seen how a film that does not have a so-called ‘heroic’ figure will be received by the audience.
It does include the character of Atal Bihari Vajpayee (Shreyas Talpade) who is earlier shows to be impressed by Indira but later changes his opinion and and Jaiprakash Narayan (Anupam Kher) who is her trenchant critic.
