    Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction

    This political film about the emergency in 1975-76 starts with a long disclaimer, about it being a work of fiction, in two languages. Welcome to the biggest democracy in the world.

    In a political film if you can't name names and show the whole story, what's the point.

    Still such films are important, so we don't forget.

    Great Acting, Great Story, Screenplay and Direction

    In Wikipedia they say it is 70% Fiction!

    I don't believe it, it is more than 100% Facts, in a democratic country that too at a time nonviolence is practiced and respected, why there was emergency in the first place, there were and there will be many unanswered questions.

    With power comes great responsibility, and they got this power from Gandhi and from the name they use at the end of their name.

    This movie is one of the perfect example about how "power makes people to forget Humanity and Self-Respect".

    10 Stars!

    Not a Brave attempt.

    A lot could have been shown of the Emergency Period.

    A rare and Good bollywood movie about emergency

    Madhur Bandharkar is one of the most under rated directors. He does not make great films like Anurag Kashyap or Vishal Bhardwaj however most of his movies have good story, the story will keep you engaged till the end. The best part about his movies is the way he uses the music helps in taking the story forward. Coming to Indu sarkar, it is a good movie about emergency. There are some decent acting performance Altough the ending was need really good but overall it was a good movie. I'll recommend you to watch the movie atleast once.
