The Indian Express

‘Kesari 2’...is a handsomely-mounted prestige picture that goes along its expected beats, without any surprises.

Rated: 2.5/5

Anuj Kumar

The Hindu

This chest-thumping adaptation of the story of jurist C. Sankaran Nair neither does justice to his contribution nor uncovers the conspiracy behind the Jallianwala Bagh massacre; it only baffles with its cavalier approach towards the past

Just for Movie Freaks

Kesari Chapter 2 is not a film made for escapism—it is made to remember, to educate, and to honour.

Rated: 3.5/5

Saibal Chatterjee

NDTV

As a star vehicle, Kesari Chapter 2 has some merits because the actor in question, despite not being the right man for the role, gives it all he has. As history, it is pure Bollywood. It errs on the side of superficiality.

Rated: 2.5/5

Rishabh Suri

Hindustan Times

When coupled with crisp direction and editing- you get something like Kesari Chapter 2, which is as hard hitting and refreshing, as it is smart. A worthy addition to the Kesari franchise.

Rated: 4/5

Exceptional acting by Akshay, Ananya and Madhavan of an untold story. I would have preferred the Jallianwala Bagh scene to be less graphic
