Kesari Veer

Kesari Veer is a rousing tribute to bravery, sacrifice, and the undying spirit of a true warrior. Set against the backdrop of colonial-era India, the film tells the gripping story of a fearless soldier who defies all odds to defend his land and honor.

From the very first frame, the film immerses the audience in its richly detailed historical setting. The production design and costume work deserve special mention for authenticity and visual grandeur. The cinematography captures both the vast battlefields and the intimate emotional moments with finesse, adding cinematic weight to the narrative.

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.

Kesari Veer" is a film based on true events, highlighting the repeated Mughal invasions on the Somnath temple. While the subject holds historical significance, the execution sadly falls short.

The biggest weakness is the storyline, it feels rushed and lacks depth. It's as if the director was in a hurry, fast-forwarding through the narrative without letting the plot breathe. This makes the story feel disconnected and meaningless at times.

The second major drawback is the casting. Apart from Suniel Shetty and Vivek Oberoi, the rest of the cast failed to make an impact. Stronger actors could have elevated the film, but it seems the limited budget didn't allow for better choices.

Thirdly, the absence of quality VFX is glaring. The film lacks realism and feels more like a staged drama than a cinematic experience. For a movie based on a real and inspirational story, the lack of visual authenticity is disappointing.

A film based on true history should inspire and feel real. Unfortunately, both the director and producers failed to bring that vision to life.

A missed chance and unfortunate outcome for the production house and backstage team. Better luck next time.

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.

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.
