Kangana Ranaut Dismisses Oscar Buzz for *Emergency*
Kangana Ranaut’s latest film, *Emergency*, premiered on Netflix last week, sparking a wave of reactions and reviews on social media. While some viewers have suggested the film deserves an Oscar nomination, Ranaut has made it clear that she is not interested in such accolades, emphasizing the importance of national recognition instead.
Ranaut’s Strong Response to Oscar Suggestion
Following the release of *Emergency*, a viewer tweeted their belief that the film should be submitted for Oscar consideration, praising Ranaut’s work. In response, she reposted the tweet, stating, “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.” This comment reflects Ranaut’s stance on the film industry and its recognition systems, prioritizing local accolades over international ones.
Industry Praise for *Emergency*
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta also weighed in on the film, expressing his surprise and admiration after watching it. He initially had reservations but later praised Ranaut’s performance and direction, calling it “fantastic” and “world-class.” Ranaut acknowledged Gupta’s comments, urging the film industry to move past biases and recognize quality work regardless of preconceived notions. She encouraged her peers to avoid assumptions about her, stating, “mujhe samajhne ki koshish bhi mat karna, main pahunch se bahar hoon,” which translates to “don’t even try to understand me, I am beyond reach.”
Critical Acclaim and Viewer Reactions
As *Emergency* continues to gain traction, viewers have been vocal about Ranaut’s performance, with many calling it her best work to date. In response to the praise, she challenged audiences to compare her acting in *Emergency* to her previous acclaimed roles in films like *Queen* and *Thalaivi*. The film’s success is evident, as it quickly climbed to the top of Netflix’s trending movies list shortly after its release, outpacing other titles such as Ajay Devgn’s *Azaad* and Naga Chaitanya-Sai Pallavi’s *Thandel*.
A Glimpse into *Emergency*
Directed and produced by Kangana Ranaut, *Emergency* delves into the tumultuous period of the Emergency declared in India from 1975 to 1977.
