The role of Akshay Kumar was also praised. The story of Kesari 2 is based on the chapter of history before independence, which makes every Indian emotional. The film not only explains the pain of Jallianwala Bagh massacre, but also shows the struggle of the combative person who fought a legal battle with the British against this barbaric incident. Took the aggrieved Indians. And he was- Shankaran Nair. In the film, Akshay Kumar played the role of lawyer Shankaran Nair. While R. Madhavan has become the British lawyer Neville McCinley.
That is, this film is a period drama as well as a court room drama. Two veteran actors will be seen making legal debate in the court. This film has been written and directed by Karan Singh Tyagi.

Another patriot
Kesari Chapter 2 is releasing in the atmosphere when no film except Chhawa has achieved success at the box office. In the last four months, the Hindi film industry has given only one blockbuster. Vicky Kaushal’s leaflet was also based on the bravery of Sambhaji Maharaj, the mighty warrior of history, who had bravely fought the army of the most cruel Mughal ruler and did not bow his head in front of Aurangzeb. This bravery of Sambhaji Maharaj touched the hearts of the audience and the film earned a record. Now Kesari has once again brought the story of the immortal hero of history who fights a legal battle against English oppression and slavery without cares about life. It has to be seen how much this film gets to the audience like a leaflet.
Not a single blockbuster in four years
Significantly, Akshay Kumar has not given a single blockbuster film for the last four years. His maximum films flopped back to back. Why did this happen? Its analysis is also necessary. Prior to Kesari 2, Akshay Kumar’s most latest films like Sky Force, Sports Sports, Sarfira also had the same fate as many of his recent films. In the last four years, most of his films were drowned at the box office. Despite the big budget and star cast, these films did not work. After the Suryavanshi in the year 2021, many of his films have happened.
All Akshay’s films flopped except OMG2. Belbotum, Atrangi Ray, Bachchan Pandey, Emperor Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, Ram Setu, Selfie, Mission Raniganj and Bade Mian Chhoti Mian flops at all the box office. After all, what is the reason for this? Akshay Kumar was once called a box office player Kumar and action Kumar, after which he also gained popularity as a comedy star but flop films have been given for the last few years.
In an interview about the series of flop films, Akshay Kumar said that it is not that I have not seen such a period before, but even then I stood firmly and continued to work and I will do the same further. I do not stick to a kind of style. I keep changing the style. Whether or not you get success, I have always focused on work in this way.
Ever a blockbuster player
Akshay Kumar started his career with 90-91. He has given many blockbuster films- between 1992 and 1999, he established an action hero along with films like Mohra, Khiladi, Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Bada Khiladi, Khiladi Khiladi, Mr. and Mrs. Khiladi. After this, he stepped into comedy and created a new identity with hit films like Garam Masala, Hera Ferry, then Herferi, Bhagam Bhaag, O Baby, Bhool Bhulaiya, Welcome, Singh is King, Housefull, Housefull 2, Rowdy Rathore and OMG: Oh My God (2012).
Akshay Kumar changed after 2014
Akshay’s inclination changed since 2014 and he chose social and national subjects in his films. Between 2016 and 2019, Airlift, Housefull 3, Rustom, Jolly LLB 2, Toilet brought films like Ek Prem Katha, Gold and introduced themselves as an actor who thinks about the nation and society and wants to show a new direction to the country. In this effort, he got both success and failure.
In 2019, four of his films came- Kesari, Mission Mangal, Housefull 4 and Good News- all these films are superhit. However, only Suryavanshi and OMG2 could get success and discussion in the later era after Korona epidemic. Suryavanshi was a super action movie while OMG2 was in a lot of discussion about its unique subject. Pankaj Tripathi also played a great role in this. Akshay Kumar looked quite effective in OMG2. But after this, he got frequent failure at the box office. Neither period drama worked nor social subject.
Consider, such a period comes in the career of every actor, but they also come back on track. Shah Rukh Khan made a better comeback from Jawan, Pathan. After the action, the comedy undoubtedly took Akshay Kumar’s career to a different point, but after the comedy, the audience neither liked him as Emperor Prithviraj nor as an archaeologist Dr. Aryan Kulshrestha, who is involved in the mission to know the truth of Ram Sethu. Now Kesari 2 is on the box office test.
