Emergency: Bhindranwale dialogue, firing scene among 13 cuts by censor board

The board is of the idea that the viewers should keep in mind that everything they are watching is not true and doesn't reflect the "absolute truth".

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has ordered around 13 cuts to Kangana Ranaut's Emergency, after issuing the U/A certificate for the film.

The new cuts recommended by the board include removal of a few violent scenes and a dialogue by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a prominent name in establishing the Khalistan movement during that time.

The decision was made following multiple complaints by several Sikh groups, alleging the film showed the Sikh community in a bad light.

The revising committee has asked the team of Emergency to include a disclaimer that the events of the film are "inspired by true events" or represent a "dramatic transformation" of the events that took place during the emergency period.

The board is of the idea that the viewers should keep in mind that everything they are watching is not true and doesn't reflect the "absolute truth".

The board asked the team to submit historical evidence backing a scene which features Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru mentioning "China had cut off Assam from India". The scene reportedly features in the beginning of the film and none of the members of the board could vouch for its authenticity.
