On its very first day, the film received a powerful response from audiences, with praise pouring in on social media for its intense storyline, strong performances, and especially for Akshay’s emotionally charged role.
A Heartfelt Request from Akshay Kumar
During a special screening held in Mumbai, Akshay attended alongside his wife Twinkle Khanna. At the event, he made a sincere appeal to both the media and the audience:
“Please, I urge everyone not to miss the first 10 minutes of the film. That opening sequence is not just a scene—it's a vital reflection of our nation's history. It sets the emotional and ideological foundation for everything that follows.”
He emphasized that this message should reach every viewer so that none miss the historical essence embedded in the film’s opening moments.
Star-Studded Premiere Draws Glamour and Praise
The screening in Mumbai was a star-studded affair, graced by numerous celebrities from the film and fashion world. Notable attendees included Ananya Panday along with her parents Chunky and Bhavana Panday, R. Madhavan, Kajol, Tiger Shroff, Manish Malhotra, Dino Morea, Urmila Matondkar, Raj & DK, and Saqib Saleem, among others.
Social Media Reactions: "Akshay Kumar’s Finest Performance Yet"
Within hours of its release, Kesari Chapter 2 became a hot topic across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Fans described it as a “courtroom drama masterpiece” and one of Akshay’s most memorable performances.
One user wrote:
“Our Khiladi is back! Akshay Kumar breathes life into C. Shankaran Nair’s role—every dialogue hits the heart.”
A New Chapter in a Historic Tale
Earlier this year, Akshay marked the sixth anniversary of his 2019 film Kesari, which depicted the Battle of Saragarhi. In contrast, Kesari Chapter 2 delves into the painful legacy of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the legal battle that followed, portraying the story of resilience and justice.
Tears, Applause, and Standing Ovations
In a viral video from outside a theatre, several viewers were seen visibly moved by the film. Reactions ranged from “powerful” and “deeply inspiring” to “a tearjerker that leaves a lasting impact.”
