Kangana Ranautās upcoming political drama EmergencyĀ is creating waves after the Censor BoardĀ ordered 13 significant cuts, including scenes and dialogues about BhindranwaleĀ and firing sequences. This decision came after concerns from Sikh groups regarding how certain events were portrayed. The CBFC also requested multiple disclaimers to clarify that the film is a fictionalized version of historical events. Kanganaās bold storytelling often stirs debates, and this time, her EmergencyĀ narrative faces a heavy edit.
Why so many cuts? š¤
The controversy centers around sensitive depictions of the Emergency periodĀ in India, a politically charged time from 1975-1977. The film includes references to important figures like Indira Gandhi, along with controversial moments like Operation Blue StarĀ and Sikh violence. Dialogues related to Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a key figure in the Punjab insurgency, were flagged. Violent scenes involving Sikhs and non-Sikhs were also edited out.
The CBFCās decision highlights the delicate balance Bollywood has to strike between artistic freedom and respecting community sentiments. The board has added disclaimers and other edits to ensure that audiences know itās a fictional portrayalĀ of real events.
