**Mumbai, India** – Kangana Ranaut’s highly anticipated film, “Emergency,” finally hit theaters after facing numerous controversies and censorship cuts by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). While the film generated significant pre-release buzz and debate, its initial box office performance has been met with a mixed response. Early reports indicate a less-than-spectacular opening day, though weekend figures show an increase.
The film’s release has not been without further incident. Protests erupted in Punjab, with Sikh organizations staging demonstrations outside cinemas and the SGPC secretary issuing a critical statement against Ranaut. Additionally, the film’s screening faced delays in certain areas of Himachal Pradesh, including Kangana Ranaut’s hometown of Mandi, with some locations postponing screenings due to local opposition. The film’s performance in subsequent days will be key in determining its overall success at the box office.
