Back in 2019, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar gave a memorable performance in Kesari, a film based on the brave Battle of Saragarhi. It was emotional, intense, and left many fans speechless. Now, Akshay is back with Kesari Chapter 2, and from the first review, it looks like he’s done it again—maybe even better this time.
The new film was shown at a special screening in Delhi before its big release on April 18. And the early response is full of praise.
What Is Kesari Chapter 2 About?
While the first Kesari focused on soldiers and their courage, Kesari Chapter 2 tells a different but equally powerful story. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, this film follows the events after the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre—one of the darkest moments in Indian history.
Akshay Kumar plays C. Sankaran Nair, a lawyer who stood up against the British Empire. He fought hard to uncover the truth about the massacre, bringing justice to the victims. This time, the movie is more of a courtroom drama, filled with emotion, powerful speeches, and deep historical impact.
The film also stars Ananya Panday and R. Madhavan in important roles, and together, they bring this gripping story to life.
What People Are Saying So Far
One of the first people to watch the movie was lawyer and politician Charu Pragya. She was deeply moved by the film and especially by Akshay’s performance. Sharing her thoughts on social media, she said, “Halfway through the movie and I didn’t even blink in the first half! INCREDIBLE! Take a bow @akshaykumar. Your finest yet!”
Another early review came from actor Rana Daggubati, known for his role in Baahubali. He called the movie an “incredible historical courtroom drama” and said it’s a film that “stays deep with the Indian in you.” He added that the film deserves to be seen across all Indian languages and promised to help bring it to Telugu-speaking audiences.
Based on a True Story
Kesari Chapter 2 is inspired by the book The Case That Shook The Empire, written by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat. The story not only shows what happened after the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy, but also honors the people who risked everything to tell the truth.
With its powerful story, meaningful message, and brilliant performances, the film is already being called a must-watch.
Final Thoughts: A Must-See Movie
If you’re a fan of strong stories, history, or just great acting, Kesari Chapter 2 is something to look forward to. With Akshay Kumar giving what many are calling his best performance yet, this film could be one of the most impactful Bollywood movies of the year.
Mark your calendar—Kesari Chapter 2 hits theatres on April 18!
