Kesari Chapter 2

Buckle up for Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, a Hindi historical drama that's like a punch to the gut and a salute to the heart.

The pacing charges like a warhorse: the massacre's opening gut-punches, courtroom battles grip tight, and only a mid-film subplot briefly stalls. The climax, with Akshay's "get out of my country" roar, is pure dynamite.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, a debutant with a lawyer's knack for precision (he is a lawyer turned filmmaker), this courtroom thriller dives into the aftermath of the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The script is inspired by The Case That Shook the Empire, and follows C. Sankaran Nair (Akshay Kumar), a barrister tearing into the British Empire's lies. Tyagi's direction is razor-sharp, blending raw emotion with slick legal battles, though some fictional flourishes (like a trial in Punjab, not London) add masala over facts.

Back to the pacing... relentless... early scenes of the massacre sear your soul, and the courtroom clashes keep you glued, though a mid-film subplot drags slightly. The climax? Pure goosebumps, with Akshay's fiery "get out of my country" speech shaking the theatre.

Akshay Kumar roars as Nair, his intensity unmatched, especially in the final act. R. Madhavan's cunning British lawyer Neville McKinley is a quiet storm, while Ananya Panday's Dilreet Gill holds her own with surprising grit. Simon Paisley Day's General Dyer is chillingly vile. Shashwat Sachdev's score and Debojeet Ray's visuals amp the stakes.

It's not perfect, some dialogues lean hammy but Kesari Chapter 2 is a patriotic powerhouse that demands your attention.

8.5/10.

Jalia wala Bagh incident was a genocide but crown(British Army) destroy's or tired to destroy every evidence so thats why they were not newspaper, nowhere.

When i saw trailer and ananya on that. I was like what she'll do but for the very first time Ananya Pandey performed well. Keep it up.

Go watch it and tell everyone to watch it. Brilliantly made. Touched me.

Both Butchers of Jalia wala bagh Died (one was shot dead by SARDAR UDDHAM SINGH & another was Killed by Karma(Illness))

At the end I wanted more from the movie but I Loved it.

Review of KESARI CHAPTER 2

by itsbymayank Mayank bharat bhushan Louteriya.

Kesari 2 brings history back to the forefront with a raw, emotional, and visually stunning depiction of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Directed with grit and sensitivity, the film doesn't shy away from the brutal reality of colonial cruelty, while highlighting the unbreakable spirit of the Indian people.

The film follows a fictional yet deeply human story of a young Sikh revolutionary who survives the carnage and becomes a symbol of awakening in Punjab. The emotional core of the film lies in its powerful performances-especially from the lead, who channels both vulnerability and burning rage with conviction.

The recreation of the massacre is haunting, using minimal dialogue and powerful visuals to let the silence speak louder than words. The cinematography and background score together create a chilling, unforgettable experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

While some moments veer into melodrama, the sincerity of the film keeps it grounded. Kesari 2 not only pays homage to the fallen but also ignites a renewed conversation on justice, memory, and the cost of freedom.

Kesari Chapter 2 is a highly dramatized and fictionalized retelling of historical events, not a strictly factual account. The film claims inspiration from true events and is based on the life of Sir C. Sankaran Nair, a prominent Indian lawyer and nationalist. However, it takes significant creative liberties, especially regarding the central premise that Nair filed a criminal case against General Dyer and secured his conviction for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

In reality, C. Sankaran Nair never filed a case against General Dyer. Instead, his notable legal battle was a civil defamation suit in London, where he was sued by Michael O'Dwyer, the then Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, for statements made in Nair's book "Gandhi and Anarchy" criticizing O'Dwyer's role in the massacre. Nair lost this case and was not involved in any criminal prosecution of Dyer

Kesari Chapter 2 is largely fictitious in its depiction of legal proceedings against General Dyer.

The real C. Sankaran Nair did not convict Dyer; no such case or conviction ever occurred.

The film uses dramatic license to create a compelling narrative, but it should not be taken as a documentary account of history.

When Akshay Kumar plays a role with conviction then very few can match him. The film starts with one of the worlds most brutal act a human can commit, the way the story moves forward and how well the character of Mr. Nair has been portrayed..everything top notch. Emotion, dialogue, court room hearing everything in place. Must watch and the patriotic feeling you get at climax will leave you teary eyed. Every Indian should go and watch this one in theaters if we don't show appreciation for movie like this then I am sorry we don't deserve good movies and will be bombarded with mind less action dramas.
