Kesari Veer

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.

T's hard to describe Kesari Veer without first asking: who greenlit this mess? This film feels more like a parody of patriotism than a cinematic homage.

From the very first frame, Kesari Veer stumbles into a chaotic blend of bad writing, exaggerated melodrama, and a complete lack of coherence. The script is a tragicomic disaster, with dialogue that sounds like it was generated by an AI trained exclusively on WhatsApp forwards. The performances-though possibly earnest-are smothered under a blanket of poor direction and clunky editing.

Visually, the film tries to be grand, but it often looks like a historical epic shot on a shoestring budget with CGI borrowed from a 2005 video game. The costume and production design swing wildly between "meh" and "did anyone even try?"

What truly sinks Kesari Veer, though, is its inability to respect the intelligence of its audience. It shouts its message instead of showing it. Rather than honoring bravery, it weaponizes nationalism in the most cartoonish, chest-thumping way.

Stupid bollywood kinda movie! It doesn't even deserve 1 star.

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.

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.

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.
