Kangana Ranaut’s controversial film Emergency has not been shown in any cinema halls in Punjab.

No cinema halls have been reported to screen this film. It was scheduled to be screened in 70 to 80 PVR cinema halls, but the opposition led to its cancellation.

Additionally, the film’s trailer depicted events from Bangladesh’s independence, leading to a ban on the film in Bangladesh as well.
