A still fromIndu Sarkar

Recently, a spate of films, including Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) and Alankrita Shrivastava's Lipstick Under My Burkha faced political protest. The latest project to have become victim of criticism is Madhur Bhandarkar's Indu Sarkar. Inspired by the Emergency imposed in India in 1975, the film's protagonist is said to be based on then prime minister Indira Gandhi.
