Kesari Review: ‘Akshay Kumar’s Jaw-Dropping Tribute To Braveheart Sikhs’

Akshay Kumar’s much awaited film of the year, ‘Kesari’ hit the big screens on the day of Holi. Despite being a festival day, Akshay's fans and movie lovers turned up in large numbers across the nation to watch the epic war drama, which also features Parineeti Chopra in the lead.

Based on the battle of Saragarhi that took place in 1897 in which 21 Sikh soldiers, under the leadership of Havildar Ishar Singh, fought for several hours against 10,000 Afghan tribesmen. Kesari tells us, when you got to fight you've got to give it your best shot even when you know the outcome.

Some of the movie lovers praised Anurag Singh for brilliant direction and Akshay Kumar, who portrayed Havildar Ishar Singh, for his jaw-dropping stunts in the film.

Here is what the movie lovers tweeted after watching Kesari on day 1 of its release.

#Kesari... A jaw-dropping tribute to the braveheart Sikhs. It's a pity that these tales took so long to reach the screens, as bollywood was busy serving nonsense like Jodha Akbar....

Witnessed something incredible this afternoon! Watched the last 20 mins of #Kesari in a cinema that (surprisingly) didn’t have even 1 Sikh & still, at the end of the film when characters in the film shout Jo Bole So Nihal, the audience replied with SAT SRI AKAL! #ThePowerOfCinema

#Kesari is about the ultimate bravehearts; it’s a story that reinvents the definition of true heroes. Full marks to Karan Johar for backing this vision; director Anurag Singh for bringing to life a spectacular story and @akshaykumar for setting a new benchmark. Go #Kesari.
