Actress Mrunal Thakur watched Kangana Ranaut’s directorial Emergency in theatres with her father, and was highly impressed by the film and the team behind it. Thakur shared her thoughts on the film, calling Ranaut a “true artist and the most gifted actress of Indian cinema.” Ranaut later thanked Thakur for her “words of encouragement,” and wrote a heartfelt note emphasizing the importance of appreciating others’ genius.
“I’m still reeling from the experience,” Mrunal Thakur wrote on Instagram. She added, “As a huge fan of Kangana Ranaut, I’ve been eagerly awaiting this film on the big screen, and IT WAS A MASTERPIECE.” Recalling some of Ranaut’s finest performances in films like Gangster, Queen, Tanu Weds Manu, Manikarnika, and Thalaivi, Thakur noted how Ranaut “has consistently pushed boundaries and inspired me with her incredible talent.” She also praised the camerawork, costumes, and performances in Emergency, calling them “top-notch.”
Thakur continued, “Kangana, you’ve outdone yourself as a director! My favourite scene… The army officer’s poignant moment with the binoculars, transitioning to the other side of the riverbank and capturing the emotion perfectly. The screenplay, dialogues, music, and editing are all seamless and engaging. I loved seeing Shreyas ji, Mahima ji, Anupam Sir, Satish Ji, and Milind Sir shine in their roles – every actor brought their A-game!”
Emergency, a political drama, stars actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film focuses on the 21 months of Emergency in India, from 1975 to 1977. Continuing her note, Thakur added, “Kangana, you’re not just an actor; you’re a true artist and inspiration. Your courage in taking on challenging roles is admirable, and your dedication to your craft is evident in every frame.” She also urged audiences to watch the film, if they hadn’t yet.
Concluding her note, the actor likened Ranaut to the late Indian PM Indira Gandhi, writing, “P.S. Mrs. Indira Gandhi was one of the most powerful women in Indian history, and now there is Miss Kangana Ranaut – one of the most gifted, talented, and courageous actresses of Indian cinema!” Ranaut reposted Thakur’s post on her Instagram story, thanking her for her kind words. She also shared a message about the importance of recognising the brilliance of one’s contemporaries.
“When we see another’s genius, it can either inspire us or make us jealous or insecure to the point that we might start to hate or deny it. But remember, what you choose chooses you. If you admire others’ brilliance or genius, you are more likely to become one because you are not only actively seeking it but are open to it as well. If you start to hate it or block it, you might never find the grace or bliss that makes one great. Open your heart and allow love to enter it. It is not for the person who is already connected; it’s for your own well-being. Do it,” Kangana Ranaut wrote. Meanwhile, Emergency, which was released in theatres on 17 January, and struggled at the box office.
