Kesari Chapter 2 Story
The story is based on the events after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. General Dyer, the man behind the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, shamelessly brands the victims as terrorists. Akshay Kumar portrays the role of fearless lawyer C. Sankaran Nair. After the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, he fights for the truth. He takes on the British Empire in his fight for justice. He charges the British Crown with genocide after one of the darkest chapters in India’s history. C. Sankaran Nair shuts down General Dyer with a powerful counter.
However, his opposite is R Madhavan, who portrays Advocate Neville McKinley. He represents the British Crown and defends the British Empire. Ananya Panday as Dilreet Gill stands strong beside C. Sankaran as an assistant lawyer. She broke barriers at a time when female lawyers were rare in pre-Independence India. What follows is an epic face-off and thrilling courtroom drama between Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan.
Kesari Chapter 2 Review
Director Karan Singh Tyagi has brought the untold story of Jallianwala Bagh to the screen, which should be known. The sacrifices of the innocent must not be forgotten. He has crafted the story with utmost perfection. The crisp narrative keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the courtroom sequences are riveting. The historical drama brings life to one of the most heartbreaking and significant events in India’s fight for independence: the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The picturization of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre is shivering and will haunt you even after the film ends. The background score is sharp and perfectly elevates the story. The climax is powerful and will give you goosebumps. The dialogues are praiseworthy.
Talking about the performances, Akshay Kumar is phenomenal. He gets into the skin of fearless lawyer C. Sankaran Nair superbly. This is one of the best performances of Akshay Kumar in recent times. The way he carries the intensity in his role is mind-blowing. R Madhavan as Advocate Neville McKinley is top notch. Just like Shaitaan, you will hate his character, and this proves what a talented actor R Madhavan is. He is simply fantastic.
Ananya Panday is a total surprise. This is one of the most challenging roles of her career, and she excelled. She is growing as an actor, and her hard work is clearly visible in Kesari Chapter 2. Regina Cassandra, who portrays the role of C Shankaran’s wife, played her part equally well, despite limited screen presence. Simon Pasley Day as General Dyer is ruthless. Other casts Krish Rao and Amit Sial did well in their respective roles.
The electrifying courtroom showdown between Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan, the gripping clash of ideologies, and relentless arguments have been presented brilliantly. The visually striking, heart-wrenching, and intense visuals showcase the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, where people are crying in despair, surrounded by bloodied bodies makes you emotional.
Final Verdict
Kesari Chapter 2 is a powerful and emotional film filled with terrific performances from Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, and the heart-wrenching story that tells us about the sacrifices of the unsung heroes. Kesari Chapter 2 will stay with you for a long time. It is a must-watch and highly recommended.
