About Kesari Chapter 2

In Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, Akshay essays the role of real-life figure C. Sankaran Nair, a lawyer who fought against the British Raj to uncover the truth about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Meanwhile, R. Madhavan stars as Advocate Neville McKinley, and Ananya Panday plays the character of Dilreet Gill.

An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film reads, “The sensitivity with which the entire incident has been dealt with, is admirable. Mass masala films rely on slick action and OTT sequences to evoke laughter and excitement. Here, the dialogues do the trick. Karan, the director, builds such sequences where you can’t help but cheer as the actors deliver impactful lines. Sample: the ‘empire is shrinking’ line which Akshay Kumar delivers in the trailer as well. The dialogues thus by Sumit Saxena are on point.”
