Kesari Veer

In the media this film has been reviewed as a poor mans Chaava but this film has shown that it can stand it's own ground.

Aside from the religious coflict the film has no similarities to Chaava. With a stellar performance from Sunil Shetty as Vegdaji Bhil and Akanksha Sharma, and a story which not many are aware of this film, though fictionalised in part, is highly entertaining.

From the VFX to the action sequences everything was spot on.

Sooraj Pancholi performs well in his comeback film, with great emotion and skill.

Definitely a cinema worthy film, specially if you're interested in history.

Movie is nice , the story narrated well. Vivek has just lived that role. The movie is in 14 century backdrop. Indian history on full display, Hamirji Gohi the hero from past, He is celebrated for his bravery in defending the Somnath Temple, significant Hindu pilgrimage site. This movie has portrayed the history of India , which was never told in the main stream. All the actors have given an outstanding performance, women empowering scenes are beautiful.

In 1299 A. D., Veer Hamirji Gohil, a 16-year-old Rajput warrior chieftain from Lathi, Gujarat, who had just been married, sacrificed himself in defending the Somnath temple against the incursion of was a general of the Delhi Sultanate ruler Alauddin Khilji.

Kesari Veer is a stirring tribute to the forgotten valor of Hamirji Gohil, a warrior whose bravery and sacrifice echo through the pages of history. Set against the backdrop of 14th-century Gujarat, the film beautifully captures the indomitable spirit of a young hero who chose faith and duty over fear.

The narrative is gripping, portraying Hamirji's relentless fight against the oppressive Tughlaq regime with emotional depth and historical intensity. His journey-from a lone warrior seeking unity among kings to a fearless defender of Somnath with just 200 soldiers-makes for a truly inspiring watch. The portrayal of cultural resistance, devotion to Hinduism, and the preservation of heritage is both powerful and poignant.

The film excels not only in storytelling but also in its visual presentation. The grandeur of Somnath Temple during Mahashivratri, the strategic battle sequences, and the emotional highs are masterfully executed. The performances, especially the lead role of Hamirji, are heartfelt and commanding.

Kesari Veer is more than just a historical drama-it is a cinematic salute to courage, conviction, and sacrifice. A must-watch for anyone who values stories of true heroism rooted in our rich cultural past.

KESARI VEER could've been a great movie with better writing, stronger dialogues, improved acting, better visual effects, and a decent budget.

The visual effects are quite poor and noticeably bad - especially that CGI lion, which looked completely unrealistic.

The acting is disappointing too. Even Suniel Shetty and Vivek Oberoi couldn't save the film with their performances.

The action scenes are illogical and make no sense. The pacing is all over the place - easily one of the weakest aspects.

The story had potential: a brave warrior, Shri Hamirji Gohil, standing against the Tughlaq Empire to protect the Somnath Temple. But unfortunately, it's executed very poorly.

The final fight sequence was a little decent, but definitely not enough to save the movie.

While watching, I was reminded of "Baahubali" at times, and even "Chhaava" in a few moments - but this film doesn't even come close, not even as a cheap copy.

Overall, it's a bad film with very poor execution.

This types of movies need to be made.

Of course the direction, cinematography, editing, budget everything could have been better. But this movie is much more than what these intellectual influencers are portraying it. This is not just Suraj Pancholi movie this movie is more about Somnath and Hamirji Gohil. Its sad that the movie is being dismissed everywhere instead of being watched with family. Its also sad that now Hindi audience will step out of their home only when another chhava level movie will be made. If you are a Shiv bhakt then this is a must watch movie for you. The mantra, chants, dialogues everything will reverberate through you.
