Starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, Kesari Chapter 2 is bringing to light another powerful and emotional story from India’s freedom movement. The film is based on the heartbreaking Jallianwala Bagh massacre — a dark and unforgettable moment in Indian history. This new period drama is not only getting positive reviews from critics and audiences but also showing strong potential at the box office.
The Last Big Hit on India’s Freedom Struggle Was 19 Years Ago!
Believe it or not, it’s been almost two decades since a Hindi film based on India’s freedom struggle became a big hit in theatres. The last major success was Rang De Basanti in 2006, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and starring Aamir Khan. This film created a huge impact at the time, connecting the struggles of Indian revolutionaries with modern youth.
Rang De Basanti had a budget of around 25 crore and earned 53 crore at the box office. That’s a profit of 112%, which gave it a “hit” verdict officially. Since then, no other Hindi film on this topic has been able to repeat that kind of success.
Can Kesari Chapter 2 Finally Break This Long-Standing Record?
Now, after around 7000 days, Akshay Kumar is all set to challenge this record with Kesari Chapter 2. The film is directed by Karan S Tyagi and deals with the horrifying incident of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, where hundreds of innocent Indians were killed by British forces in 1919. The tragic event is an emotional chapter in India’s fight for freedom, and the movie tries to capture the spirit, pain, and bravery of that time.
Kesari Chapter 2 has been made on a much larger scale compared to Rang De Basanti. According to reports, the movie’s budget is somewhere between 80 to 100 crore. To become a hit and break the record, the film needs to earn about 170 to 210 crore at the box office — this would give it a similar or better 112% profit margin, just like Rang De Basanti.
Positive Reviews and Audience Love May Help It Succeed
Early reports and reviews for Kesari Chapter 2 are quite encouraging. Viewers have appreciated the storytelling, performances, and emotional depth of the film. If the strong word of mouth continues, the film may achieve its box office target and become the next big hit on India’s freedom struggle, finally ending Aamir Khan’s long-standing reign in this genre.
Final Thoughts
Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2 is more than just a film – it’s a tribute to the unsung heroes of India’s past. If it manages to earn the numbers it needs, it could officially become the first hit Hindi film on India’s freedom struggle since 2006, breaking a record that has stood for nearly 19 years.
With a powerful story, strong cast, and good early buzz, will Akshay Kumar finally dethrone Aamir Khan and claim the title with this emotional drama? All eyes are on the box office now.
