About Kesari 2
'Kesari Chapter 2' centres around the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that occurred in 1919 and was released on its 106th anniversary. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film serves as a spiritual sequel to Kesari (2019). The movie features Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday in lead roles.

ETimes reviewed the movie:
“The conflict shifts from the battleground of Saragarhi in Kesari (2019) to the courtroom in director Karan Singh Tyagi’s historical drama. Inspired by The Case That Shook the Empire by C. Sankaran Nair’s grandson Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat, writers Tyagi and Amritpal Bindra evoke pathos, anger, and thrill in equal measure through their narrative. The recreation of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre tugs at your heartstrings, the injustice fuels your anger, and the legal battle keeps you hooked.
While the pacing is initially uneven—particularly during the sequence of Sankaran helping convict revolutionary Kirpal Singh (Jaipreet Singh) and the pre-trial against General Reginald Dyer (Simon Paisley Day)—the engagement peaks once he faces a fierce nemesis in Anglo-Indian lawyer Neville McKinley (R. Madhavan).”
