About Kesari Chapter 2

The film chronicles the aftermath of one of the darkest chapters in Indian history. It features Akshay Kumar as the lawyer and former Indian National Congress President C. Sankaran Nair. R Madhavan plays the fierce opposition lawyer, Neville McKinley, in the trial that followed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Meanwhile, Ananya Panday plays lawyer Dilreet Gill.

Kesari Chapter 2 Review

Our review of the film reads, “The film might be hugely fictional and overly dramatic, but it does bring home the point that the British were able to effectively control us from across the seven seas just because a majority didn’t revolt against them. Sankaran Nair was a judicial reformer who dared to go against the tide, and his efforts should rightly be lauded. Kudos to the filmmakers who brought to light this long-forgotten hero, who sadly passed away in 1934, long before India’s Independence. Watch Kesari Chapter 2 for Akshay Kumar’s and R Madhavan’s performances and for its message of unity and judicial integrity, much needed in today’s times.”
