Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' has received a UA certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)  with the condition that the filmmakers make three specific cuts and provide factual sources for the controversial historical claims depicted in the movie.

The CBFC has asked filmmakers to give disclaimers on historical events depicted in the film. The CBFC's recommendations include removing or modifying certain visuals in a scene showing Pakistani soldiers attacking Bangladeshi refugees. This includes a sequence where a soldier is shown smashing an infant’s head and another where three women are beheaded.  The release date of the film has not been finalised yet.

A UA certificate implies that the movie can be viewed by audiences of different age groups, but with parental guidance.

Additionally, the committee had asked the filmmakers to replace a curse shouted by someone from the crowd in response to the death of a leader in the film. They have also asked for a change to the surname of a family mentioned in a line.

The filmmakers were also asked to provide correct information for a line said by an actor playing the character Nixon, that made disparaging references to Indian women.

According to reports, Emergency was submitted for a review on July 8 to the censor board. However, last month, the film ran into trouble after various Sikh organisations, including Akal Takht and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, began demanding that the film be banned over its portrayal of the Sikh community.

The filmmakers had received an email on August 29, stating that the movie had been granted certification. However, no certificate was issued thereby prompting them to approach the Bombay High Court.
