Emergency movie box office verdict: Emergency, starring Kangana Ranaut, hit the screens on January 17 and opened to a dull response at the box office. It witnessed slight growth over the weekend but then crashed on the weekdays. The film's run is now over and the verdict is out. Emergency is a political drama, directed by Kangana Ranaut herself.
Emergency fails to deliver at the box office
Kangana Ranaut, who has not given a clean hit in a while, tried to revive her career with Emergency. The big ticket, however, failed to make a strong impact at the box office. According to Manobala Vijayabalan, a trade analyst, the political drama earned Rs 23 crore globally during its run and ended up being a 'huge flop'.
ˇ°Emergency made a total of ?23 cr globally. It's a huge flop with big losses. Yes, Kangana's movies have consistently failed at the box office in recent years. It is difficult for her to grow in her career until and unless she does a good movie which fetches hundreds of crores,ˇ± he told Indiatimes.
Emergency, shot on a budget of Rs 60 crore, received mixed reviews with critics lauding the performances but expressing dissatisfaction with the screenplay. This prevented it from doing well at the box office. It, however, fared slightly better than Ajay Devgn's Azaad.
