Kesari Chapter 2 Early Reviews: Akshay Kumar wins hearts again in powerful courtroom drama.

After the success of Sky Force, Akshay Kumar is back on the big screen with a new and powerful historical drama – Kesari Chapter 2. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the movie hit theatres today and has already received a positive response from both critics and audiences.

The film stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role, alongside R Madhavan and Ananya Panday. It is not a direct sequel but a spiritual continuation of the 2019 hit Kesari. While the first film focused on the Battle of Saragarhi, this new chapter explores another important moment in Indian history – the truth behind the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Akshay plays the role of C. Sankaran Nair, a bold and determined lawyer who fought to bring justice during British rule.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have already started sharing their early reactions to Kesari Chapter 2, and most of them are full of praise. Let’s take a look at some of the early reviews from moviegoers:

One user wrote,
“#KesariChapter2: A Must-Watch! Intense, impactful, and absolutely captivating… Kesari Chapter 2 stands tall as one of the most remarkable Hindi films in recent times. #AkshayKumar delivers a phenomenal performance, while #RMadhavan is equally brilliant. A cinematic experience that hits hard and stays with you—highly recommended!”

Another viewer shared,
“#KesariChapter2 is a must-watch for every Indian. The screenplay and storytelling are so good that you won’t feel bored at all. It keeps you engaged from start to finish. #AkshayKumar and #RMadhavan are superb, and even #AnanyaPanday surprised us with her solid performance.”

A third review said,
“#KesariChapter2 live review: The first 30 minutes are just AMAZING. Finally, the content king is back after Sky Force! The film is full of emotions. #AkshayKumar delivers a powerful performance. Madhavan and Ananya are surprise packages. It’s not a typical mass entertainer but a deep courtroom drama. If you love history and patriotism, don’t miss this one.”

Another tweet read,
“#KesariChapter2Review – HARD HITTING and FULL OF GOOSEBUMPS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½. Kesari Chapter 2 is not just a movie, it’s a strong emotional drama. I urge every Indian to watch it. Take your family and friends. It’s one of the proudest films I’ve ever seen. Salute to the entire team!”

The movie has also made a decent start in advance bookings. It has recorded the 5th highest pre-sales for a Bollywood movie in 2025, which shows that audiences were excited even before release. With such strong word-of-mouth, the film is expected to perform even better in evening and night shows.

Overall, Kesari Chapter 2 seems to be another winner for Akshay Kumar. It not only entertains but also educates and inspires. With an emotional story, powerful performances, and a slice of real history, it looks like the film is here to make a mark.
