During India’s Emergency, the government imposed strict censorship on arts and cinema. Gulzar’s “Aandhi,” believed to be based on Indira Gandhi’s life, was banned, along with Amrit Nahata’s political satire “Kissa Kursi Ka,” whose prints were confiscated. Other films facing censorship included “Andolan,” “Chanda Marutha,” “Nasbandi,” and Anand Patwardhan’s documentary “Kranti ki Tarangein,” highlighting the era’s impact on creative expression.
