Kesari was one of the most awaiting movie of these year which is based on the Battle of Saragarhi was fought on 12 September 1897 between Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army and Pashtun Orakzai tribesmen (legions of Afghans). It occurred in the North-West Frontier Province, (modern-day Khyber Paktunkhwa, Pakistan). The Sikhs, led by Halvindar Ishar Singh, chose to fight to the death, which is considered as one of history's bravest battle ever fought.

No doubt Akshay Kumar has given many of the best performances in his Career, but these one is Outstanding, one of the best. Akki in portray of Halvindar Ishar Singh nailed it. Parineeti Chopra is good in Special performances. Rakesh Chaturvedi Om is superb in negative performance, you will really hate him in role of Saidullah.

Director Anurag Singh has done very good job. Action Pack Scenes are heart of the movie. Action Director Parvez Shaikh & Lawrence Woodward have done execellent work. Cinematography is fantastic by Anshul Chobey. Climax is really awesome, will left you in emotions and make you proud to be an Indian too.

Overall, Kesari is an Action packed & Heart touching movie. Its a treat for Holi & these weekend. Don't miss these one at any cost. Go for it.

After watching Kesari trailer, I thought this might be an Indian version of 300. But no, the movie doesn't feel that way at all. Based on a true story, which I didn't know before, there is enough heart and soul in this venture to keep us entertained. Akshay Kumar even with a fake looking beard, shone in the movie. The comradeship of the 36th Sikh regiment and their struggles were nicely portrayed but other groups like Pathans and British folk were one-dimensional making them feel like caricatures . It is entertaining but the length and slow motion action scenes just make it very exhausting. It is enjoyable to watch an Indian bravery story but a better screenplay and tighter editing would have made it a better viewing experience.
