‘Kesari 2’ arrives on OTT

The film hit cinemas on April 18 and was well received by both critics and viewers. Blending history with intense courtroom drama, 'Kesari 2' explores the lesser-known legal and emotional aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. 

Akshay Kumar plays a lawyer leading the fight for justice, while R Madhavan and Ananya Panday support with strong performances in pivotal roles.

Unlike the first ‘Kesari’, which focused on the Battle of Saragarhi, Kesari Chapter 2 shifts its lens to a different historical tragedy. Told largely through powerful courtroom scenes, the film aims to shed light on the untold voices surrounding Jallianwala Bagh, giving it a fresh and emotional perspective.

‘Kesari 2’ box office

The film had a steady start at the domestic box office, earning ₹7.75 crore on its opening day. It gradually picked up momentum despite tough competition from Sunny Deol’s ‘Jaat’ and Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Ground Zero’. However, its performance was slightly affected after the release of Ajay Devgn’s much-anticipated 'Raid 2'.

As of now, the film’s India net collection stands at ₹92.65 crore, while its worldwide total has reached approximately ₹144 crore.
