It seems like Akshay Kumar finally took the opinions of his fans seriously and shut the noise of the yes-men around him. He went into Kesari Chapter 2 armed with his primary strength - acting and the result is incredible

Kesari Chapter 2 review: Akshay Kumar is back!
Akshay Kumar is back and how! Kesari Chapter 2 has become his saving grace after a series of flops. The courtroom drama that tells the untold story of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre through the lens of C. Sankaran Nair has managed to evoke emotions to an extent where the audience around me erupted in an impromptu applause mid-screening.
The plot is based on the book The Case That Shook The Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat. The massacre scene that lays the foundation for this film is impactful and gut-wrenching. Akshay rules this narrative with this experience of playing several real-life characters on screen. He speaks one line in Malayalam, does Kathakali to establish himself as a South Indian, but keeps his accent intact to speak Hindi without the stereotypical approach.
