Bollywood has never shied away from experimenting with bold topics. Over the last few years, there has been a spurt in unconventional topics. Be it the sperm donor in Vicky Donor or the movie on 1984 riots, Bollywood is blazing new trails with its subject matter.
Sure, such movies run into trouble from time to time, but that is not stopping filmmakers from breaking the stereotype.
Emergency was imposed in India on June 25, 1975, by the then Indira Gandhi government and lasted about 21 months.
Here is a look at five movies made on the Emergency:
Nasbandi
Emergency is remembered for the compulsory sterilisation programme launched by the government. The 1978 movie Nasbadhi, directed by I S Johar, had duplicates of all popular heroes of the time.
Kissa Kursi Ka
This was another political film that made a mockery of Sanjay Gandhi's automobile manufacturing plans. Unlike Nasbandi, which was a spoof, Kissa Kursi Ka is a satirical take on Indian politics during the Emergency.
