Akshay Kumar’s starrer Kesari Chapter 2 struck a chord with the audience and continues to gather all the love from the fans.

For the unversed, the film is a stand-alone sequel to Kesari, a critical and commercial success. This movie was directed by Karan Tyagi and produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films. It is based on Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat’s book The Case That Shook The Empire, focussing on C Sankaran Nair and the heartbreaking 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. In addition to Akshay, the movie features Ananya Panday and R Madhavan in pivotal roles. The film was received with positive reviews and keeps minting winning numbers at the box office.
Kesari Chapter 2 received an excellent rating of 8.2 stars on IMDb, and on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience gave it 95%. Often, historical or period dramas fail to succeed at the box office, depending on performances or storylines. However, even a film with a low budget and lesser-known stars becomes a notable success if the storyline is intact and the makers are successful in conveying the message. Dharma Productions is known for backing new talents and bringing forth unconventional stories like Kapoor & Sons, which tells the story of a dysfunctional family with great emotional depth.
