It's time for Akshay Kumar to stop now

Film: Kesari

Performer: Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra,

Stars: 2 stars

Kesari records the events of the brief war at Fort Saragarhi which houses the brave 36th Sikh Regiment. The film tries to capture the sheikh's bravery, his sense of honor and pride, but leaves out the false dramatization of the screenplay. The director Anurag Singh managed to save the face with a good second half longer than the first. At that time, in 1897, while the British controlled the land and the army of the country. The battle of Saragarhi took place before the Tirah campaign of September 12, 1897, between Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army and Pashtun-Orakzai tribes, which took place in the North-West Frontier Province, known today as Under the name Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Ishar Singh, the protagonist aka Akshay Kumar is someone who can never stand the injustice that occurs anywhere, even if it is on the other side of the border. Ishar unconsciously charges to save an Afghan girl of her kind when she is threatened with decapitation. No questions asked! Defying the orders of his British master led to his transfer to the Saragarhi fort. Where the real story is supposed to begin. While you expect decision-makers to take a plunge, much of the first half is leaked to ensure the public understands who Ishar is as he thinks and wants.

The rest of the cast comes from the rest of the cast. old women who spend a minute on screen for the character of Parineeti and a few minutes for all the remaining regiment. They all have only two agendas, one – to give Ishar a correct, sensible, wise and two – moving his audience before the end of the film. Usually, this tactic would work wonders, but for Kesari, the film is drying up. The public is already aware of what will happen, it is better to leave a good scenario and a good direction.

Unfortunately, the good part of the film lasts only for a good part of the last 30 minutes, while the battle is actually an event. We see slow-motion sequences that seem useless after the first dialogues and powerful dialogues that can finally have an impact on the audience. Otherwise, the film pays tribute to a man rescuing a woman, who unleashed a war between two countries and to a crooked man who is testing this own regiment.

There have also been more than a few moments when we see Akshay Kumar trying to impose patriotic propaganda. on the public while playing save with religion. In a real dialogue in the film, one villain asks another (yes, they do not even bother to say the name of these villains), "Why are you bringing God into this battle?", To which he responds the war has a weapon, you use yours and let me use mine. "Fortunately, he died towards the end.

The essence of the film is Ishar obsessed with the feeling of freedom after being called the servant of the British government in place of a proud soldier, and this That is why he chose to die as a free Sikh despite the British ordering him to stay strong.

Verdict: The bravery of these men is commendable and this film If only Kesari had stuck to the known facts, this film could have been the next URI of 2019
