A Powerful Opening

A voiceover then describes how British soldiers ruthlessly killed unarmed civilians at Jallianwala Bagh.

Kesari (2019) Recap
The first film, Kesari, hit theaters in 2019. It told the story of the Battle of Saragarhi (1897), where 21 Sikh soldiers from the 36th Sikh Regiment heroically fought 10,000 Pashtun tribesmen. The film also starred Parineeti Chopra, adding emotional depth.
Jallianwala Bagh Massacre: A Dark Chapter in History
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre happened on April 13, 1919. Thousands of people had gathered in Amritsar to protest the Rowlatt Act and the arrest of pro-Indian leaders Saifuddin Kitchlew and Satyapal.
Without warning, General R.E.H. Dyer surrounded the crowd with British troops and ordered them to fire. The shooting continued until they ran out of bullets, leaving thousands dead or injured. This brutal attack changed India’s fight for independence forever.
With Kesari Chapter 2, Akshay Kumar brings another powerful historical story to the screen. The film not only promises intense drama but also reminds audiences of India’s struggle against colonial rule. Fans now eagerly await its release.
