Film Companion

We get bloodshed in slow motion, a few good men fighting until their last breath and a plaintive soundtrack to underline their immense sacrifice. It gets a little exhausting.

Rated: 2.5/5

Akshay Kumar is the film. And he pulls it off, keeping that 'kesari pagdi' aloft right till the end, delivering thundering speeches while keeping his men's morale up.

Rated: 3/5

It would have, perhaps, worked with good casting and performances supporting the main lead. However, in the one-man show, none of the other characters or actors turn out memorable.

Firstpost

A barely disguised propaganda vehicle [that chronicles a] remarkable episode [of Indian history] with self-defeating twists.

Rated: 2/5

Film Companion

Just a whole lot of killing, slashing and humans cutting up humans. Yes, the cinematography soars, but the violence is so much, so prolonged, and begins to give you a headache.

Film Inquiry

Overall, the splendidly saffron-tinted visuals and a few spectacular stretches can't compensate for Kesari's shockingly ludicrous finale and too much dilly-dally.

The movie was very engaging from the beginning to the end. Yes, the story must have been exaggerated, but it is on real extraordinary historical event. And those who did not know about the real event, they are in for a shock post movie how the actual event was beyond comprehension. Those critics who call themselves experts have left such a naive negative review that is is disappointing. Calling the movie to be "too much" bloodshed and killing that it becomes exhausting shows that they have no sense of the event the movie was made. It's like watching a baking show and complaining about too much baked products being made. I am ready to debate with these expert idiots to show how silly their comments are. If you don't like to see bloodshed, don't watch war based movies. Simple! This has to be one of the best battle based movies, up to the par of Dunkirk.
