The film where Kangana Ranaut plays the character of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, was under a lot of scrutiny from the word go. Since it intended to bring out the story of India’s emergency era, people questioned the political nature of the movie, saying it might fabricate historical facts. Many even doubted the actress’s ability to offer an unbiased portrayal of the former Prime Minister. However, post-release, the internet lauded Kangana for her vision as both actor and director. He garnered praise for offering maximum accuracy while dealing with sensitive political and historical facts.
