Kesari

I'd never seen a Bollywood film until now but having read about the Battle of Saragarhi I thought it would be interesting to watch. I will admit there is definitely some heavy melodrama in a few action scenes, I don't know if this is common in Indian films or not but it does disrupt the flow of the film somewhat (or at least give you the impression that beards and turbans give you superpowers). That being said most of the action sequences are well done and the tone while serious is punctuated by some hilarious jokes and dialogue that reflect the camaraderie amongst soldiers in such situations and make relating to and investing in a rather large cast of characters considerably easier. I don't know how Indian audiences would rate this film against other Bollywood films but I found this far more entertaining than recent Hollywood blockbusters.

A blockbuster writingover it. Akshay Kumar's best acting. Action sequencs are lit 🔥🔥 It deserve blockbuster .

Akshay Kumar deserves Filmfare atleast and utmost a nominee for Oscar!!! No I am not over rating this movie but its time we start giving Akshay Kumar the credit he has always deserved 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Brilliant and phenomenal

Very inspiring and emotional at the end. Not much of a story but bravery of 21 soldiers against 10000 Afghan attackers has been depicted very well. Akshay Kumar is fantastic and specially Last 30 minutes is very good. Teri Mittti song is one of the best song in recent times and very well sung.
