Mumbai: Following the release of ‘Emergency’ on Netflix, actor-director Kangana Ranaut has been sharing fresh reactions and reviews for it on her Instagram handle.
When a fan suggested that the film should bag an Oscar, Kangana quipped that she doesn’t need a ‘silly’ American award as the US has always suppressed other developing nations.
A user tweeted, “#EmergencyOnNetflix should go for the Oscars from India. Kangana, what a film.”
Kangana replied, “But America wouldn’t like to acknowledge its real face, how they bully suppress and arm twist developing nations. It’s been exposed in #emergency. They can keep their silly Oscar. We have National Awards.”
Praising the movie, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta wrote, “Today I watched EMERGENCY by @KanganaTeam. Very frankly I wasn’t planning to as I had prejudged it. I am so glad that I was wrong. What a fantastic film by Kangana both performance & direction. Top Notch & World Class.”
Acknowledging the appreciation, the actress wrote, “Film industry must come out of its hate and prejudices and acknowledge good work, thanks for breaking that barrier Sanjay ji, the barriers of preconceived notions, my message to all filmi intellectuals, never keep any notions about me, mujhe samajhne ki koshish bhi mat karna, main pahunch se bahar hoon (Don’t try to figure me out, I am out of your reach).”
Replying to another user, Kangana wrote, “Another person praised her acting in the movie and she responded. “People are calling my acting in #emergency amazing and my best ever, could I surpass Queen, TWM2, Fashion, Thalaivi? Watch #emergency and find out.”
Released on Netflix on Friday, ‘Emergency’ is trending at No. 1 spot, followed by Ajay Devgn’s ‘Azaad’ and Naga Chaitanya’s ‘Thandel.’
Directed and produced by Kangana, the film is based on the period of emergency imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in June 1975.
The film also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Milind Soman and late actor Satish Kaushik in key roles
