Review of KESARI CHAPTER 2

by itsbymayank Mayank bharat bhushan Louteriya.

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.

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.

Every once in a while, a film comes along that quietly enters the theatres without much noise, but leaves an unforgettable impression on the audience. This was exactly that kind of experience - a story that felt absolutely unheard of, brimming with fresh storytelling, emotional depth, and a narrative that keeps you hooked from the very first frame. The plot was neither formulaic nor predictable, which is a rarity in today's cinema, and that alone deserves applause.

What truly elevates the experience is the background music. The BGM was not just good - it was perfectly on point. From subtle emotional cues to thrilling high-octane moments, the music added layers to the story, amplifying the emotions and building the tension just when needed. In fact, there were moments where the score spoke louder than dialogues, guiding the audience through the emotional rollercoaster with finesse. It felt like the music had a voice of its own - sometimes whispering, sometimes screaming - but always enhancing the scene it accompanied.

The acting, too, was commendable across the board. Every character felt like they belonged to the world the director had created. The performances were deeply rooted in the story, and not one of them felt out of place or forced. The lead actor was especially compelling, effortlessly switching between vulnerable and intense moments. Supporting actors weren't just there to fill in scenes; they contributed significantly to the emotional depth and narrative structure of the movie. You could feel the chemistry, the tension, the despair - all brought to life by a cast that clearly understood their characters inside out.

Ananya Pandey's performance, however, was a bit of a mixed bag. While her expressions have drastically improved compared to her previous work - showing a clear upward trajectory in her acting graph - her dialogue delivery was still the weakest link in an otherwise tight ensemble. There were moments when her lines lacked the punch or emotional resonance they required. A particularly intense scene that demanded raw vulnerability fell a bit flat due to the lack of tonal depth in her voice. That said, credit must be given where it's due - her expressions in emotional scenes, especially during moments of silence or introspection, were surprisingly effective. It's evident that she's growing, and this role might just be a stepping stone to more nuanced performances in the future.

The direction deserves a special mention. The filmmaker managed to craft a world that felt lived-in, relatable, and emotionally gripping. The pacing was just right - giving viewers time to breathe during reflective moments, but not dragging long enough to bore. Cinematography, too, played a major role in the storytelling. The use of light and shadows, the framing of scenes, and even the choice of locations added character to the film. Visual storytelling was at its peak, and when combined with the aforementioned BGM, created a powerful sensory experience.

The screenplay was crisp, with dialogues that resonated, barring a few misses here and there. The climax, in particular, was both heartbreaking and cathartic. It tied together the emotional threads of the narrative in a way that felt both satisfying and haunting. You walk out of the theatre with a heavy heart and a mind full of thoughts - exactly what a good movie should leave you with.

In conclusion, this movie is a gem. It surprises you with its originality, touches you with its sincerity, and lingers in your mind long after it ends. It's not perfect - few films are - but its imperfections are easily overshadowed by its emotional depth, visual beauty, and standout music. If Ananya Pandey can polish her delivery, she has the potential to truly shine. Until then, she still manages to hold her ground thanks to her evolving screen presence. A must-watch for anyone looking for cinema that dares to tell a new story.
