    Power, Precision & Punch - Keshri 2 Delivers!

    Keshri - Chapter 2 is a brilliantly crafted film that excels on every level. The narrative is gripping, the script is tight, and the direction is seamless, drawing the viewer in from start to finish.

    Akshay Kumar delivers a commanding and powerful performance as Shankara Nair, while Madhavan once again showcases his incredible versatility with depth and finesse. What's truly impressive is that young Ananya never gets overshadowed by the brilliance of these two veterans-she holds her own with remarkable poise and presence.

    The performances are uniformly strong, and the emotionally charged climax leaves a lasting impression.

    A film that strikes the perfect balance of storytelling, acting, and impact-Keshri 2 is a must-watch for all lovers of meaningful cinema.

    Well Crafted ..Akshay Kumar Performance

    Best British type movie after Lagan.. Outstanding Performances.. And That Teri Mitti Sequence Was Awesome .#AkshayKumar entry in the court with O Shera Bgm wow

    Powerful, Hard-hitting, Engaging, Thrilling. This is what #KesariChapter2 is. A terrific watch. #AkshayKumar delivers a ROARINGGGGGG performance. Watch out for his intensity in the final scenes. Shook the entire theatre.

    Ananya, Madhavan, GeneralDyre & the little young sikh boy are so bloody good in #KesariChapter2!!! Both deserving of Best Supporting Actors!!!

    Blend with Emotions and powerful performance.

    Kesari Chapter 2 starts off at a measured pace, taking its time to lay the emotional groundwork, but as the story unfolds, it grips you with intensity and depth. The performances by the senior actors are nothing short of brilliant, delivering every moment with authenticity and power. A special mention must be made of the actor portraying General Dyer - he was absolutely phenomenal, embodying the character with chilling precision. And a round of applause for Ananya Panday, who truly surprised and impressed with her nuanced performance. Though the beginning may feel slow, the emotional buildup pays off beautifully, making it a truly worthwhile and impactful watch.

    The Unsung Valor of Real Heroes

    Kesari 2 is a deeply moving and inspirational film that beautifully portrays the life and sacrifice of Shankar Nair, a brave freedom fighter who played a crucial role in India's struggle for independence. The film is not only a tribute to his heroism but also a powerful reminder of the countless unsung heroes who gave everything for the nation. With strong performances, emotional storytelling, and impactful direction, this movie leaves a lasting impression. It's a must-watch for students and young people, as it instills a sense of patriotism and motivation to honor and learn from our rich history.

    Akshay on fire!

    The story is about Jallianwala Bagh massacre which took place on 13 April 1919. It further highlights the lawyer who fought against British against the same incidence, His name was C. Sankaran Nair played by Akshay here. Sankaran first was a decorated British lawyer but later changed his ways.

    After watching the trailer I expected a lot more. The movie is a court room drama. There is no much of entertainment. I however liked Akshays acting. It was top notch. The music gets along well with the movie.

    While the movie progressed I was unclear how many of the victims were managed to be saved. I further felt the storyline involving the saved ones as witnesses would have been great but the show was different.

    Final Verdict: The movie is a court room drama. Content though serious there's not much of it. Entertainment slightly lacks. Akshays is on fire. It's not as great as trailer portrays. Do watch it if you want to know some facts about Indian History in form of a film.
