The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh film was released today, starring Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, returning to the big screen with a brand new movie. A courtroom drama about advocate C. Sankaran Nair serves as the dramatic centerpiece in the Karan Singh Tyagi-directed film that seeks to explore the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

The film, which has already created a lot of buzz before its release owing to its association with Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective and Cape of Good Films, is likely to perform well at the box office. Audiences seem to have mixed opinions regarding the film as most of the reviews are leaning towards the same direction.

Mixed audience reactions from social media.

Some netizens considered the film a patriotic cinematic masterpiece commending its emotional depth. One user on X remarked,

“#KesariChapter2 is a cinematic masterpiece that leaves a long-lasting impact on the public. A genocide India must know about.”

While others focused on the dismal aspects of the film like the performance of Akshay Kumar which were met with a lot of backlash.

From the Comments:  

“Old wine, new bottle! #AkshayKumar is a miscast. Average performance by him. #RMadhavan is decent, but underwhelming production value and direction. Dharma Production is FLOP now.”  

Guessing the film's financial success or failure based on public sentiment feels like tossing a coin.  

Public Reviews and Box Office Expectations:  

“#Kesari2: UNDERWHELMING. Kumar’s return in the anticipated sequel is a dud. The stakes are high, but the execution is lackluster. It hits the beats, but misses the heart.”  

In contrast to harsh pacing and lack of finesse, some focus on dialogue and implementation of the story’s history as telling and impactful framework. R. Madhavan's presence seemed to have mixed responses too.

Having recently come down to true expectations, some critical reviewers have marked it with two stars, calling it a lackluster work, going on to speculate that's going to tank for many months – in steady decline, “Expected LT – 9 crore.”  

While others forecast the box office figure with the underlying tone that the movie serves as the unsanctioned sequel to 2019’s Kesari, heavily relying on the notions of expected history.
