Review of Kesari . . .

Review of Kesari . . .


Watched Kesari on very first day of it's release. But as i was busy in traveling i didn't get time to write about it. Finally sharing my views today.
Akshay Kumar is synonymous of Patriotism. Baby, Holiday, Rustom etc and one more film entered in the list. Kesari directed by Anurag Singh based on the true story of 1897 battle of Saragarhi. 21 Shikhs fought against 10k Afghani Pathans. A pride moment for Shikh community, pride for the nation. Kudos to Karan Johar for producing such a brave untold story.
Nowadays actors like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and others prefer to choose a film which is based on true events and film makers are also more interested in making on reality level rather than typical fictional stories of Bollywood.
Kesari an engaging action entertainer where director taken care of every departments. Whether it's action sequences or emoutional scenes, dialogues writing and performances by leads everything executed tightly.
Solid story with solid execution makes the film worth watch for Akshay Kumar fans, it's for those who like patriotic films, it's for those who like action masalas and for those who are eagerly waiting for the films coming on untold stories.
I didn't know much about the Saragarhi battle where 21 Shikhs fought against Afghanis therefore this film has became an informative stuff as well as i felt proud of Shikh regiment over 100 years ago where they proved themselves as real heroes.
It's story of bravura and self encouragement. Many motivational lessons are there such as leadership quality in Ishar Singh (Akshay Kumar), self esteem, rise above the fear and smart work.
I really enjoyed the film as it's an action film generally i love action masalas, i loved many well made scenes such as Akshay Kumar's entry sequence where he saves an Afghani women from slaughtered. Ishar Singh taking charge 36 fort and then introduction with other characters. Whole battle fight and climate i enjoyed.
Music is quite ok. Sanu Kehndi track was missing from the film. While background score is nice.
Casting is also nice. Shikhs played their role so well. Rakesh Chaturvedi nailed his role. He's damn good here. Parineeti Chopra didn't have much to do here as she has special appearance only.
Lastly the one and only Akshay Kumar as Ishar Singh FANTASTIC. I have noticed that he has improved his acting skills so much. He's superb at comic timing but film by film he's becoming a versatile actor. Loved his seriousness in Baby and here too he's solid and in full form. He always nails the role of Shikh whether that was Singh Is King or this Kesari. I have been his big fan since Khiladi series so it's obvious thing that i go for his films on very first day.
Execution is very tight therefore it wasn't a boring for a minute.
Overall it's solid entertaining masala film and pride for the Shikh community, pride for the nation and as it came in form of film so pride for Bollywood now.
I think it deserves
4/5
