About the trailer
The story of Emergency is quite limited to Indira's years as the Prime Minister. By looking at the trailer one can make out that, the trailer has focused on what happened during 1966, the decisions she made during the 1971 war with Pakistan and the Emergency years.
It's time to revisit the history and open the book once again before you watch the film. The Emergency era is called the darkest chapter in Indian history when fundamental rights were curtailed and the government ruled through decree. Democracy wasn't in place, and the PM rule's was the ultimate with no freedom of speech and expression.
Apart from the screenplay and showing the darkest chapter of politics pre-Independent. The dialogues do pack a punch.
In the film, Kangana as Indira says, "India is Indira and Indira is India" and "Main hi cabinet hun." She says she is in politics for her benefit and not for the welfare of the nation.
She also says, "Nafrat, aur mila kya hai mujhe iss desh se (What have I got from this country besides hate)?"
The film shows how who are the villains in Indira's life.
