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.
Here C. Sankaran Nair (Akshay kumar) Jumps in and here court trial starts
you can see the detailing of every fact.
Hard work of the writer and director's hard work on screen.
Every court hiring shows that we are done, nothing can help, now how the story will go ?
Every court date there is something new..
akshay tried his best and same with R Madhvan.
Teer te taaj Song is perfectly fits on that situation.
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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