Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency, which opened in theaters on January 17, 2025, has sparked significant discussion regarding its box office performance. Initially anticipated as a major release, the film chronicles the controversial period of the Emergency in India under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. However, as the first week draws to a close, the film’s financial success is in question.
Box Office Performance
As of January 23, 2025, Emergency has struggled to gain traction at the box office. The film’s total earnings stand at approximately ₹13.25 crore after six days of release, with daily collections dwindling significantly after an initial decent opening. Here’s a breakdown of its performance:
- Day 1: ₹2.5 crore
- Day 2: ₹3.6 crore
- Day 3: ₹4.25 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹1.05 crore
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹1 crore
- Day 6 (Wednesday): ₹0.85 crore
The film’s opening day was promising, but it quickly fell into a downward spiral, particularly during weekdays when collections dropped sharply. The film’s earnings have not even reached the ₹15 crore mark, which is concerning given its reported production budget of around ₹60 crore.
Conclusion: Hit or Flop?
Given its current trajectory and financial performance, it is safe to categorize Emergency as a flop at the box office. The combination of disappointing earnings, critical reception, and external challenges such as bans and protests has hindered its success. As it stands, Kangana Ranaut’s ambitious project struggles to find its footing amidst a competitive cinematic landscape.
