Its implications are (relatively) progressive, but its storytelling is not.

The Indian Express

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

Rated: 2.5/5

Kesari Chapter 2 is a revival of old-school politics where the antagonism against the British, the original outsider, confirms the communal unity of India.

Fictionalises too freely, sermonises too often, side-stepping one trap, while falling into another.

Upper Stall

Kesari 2 builds its case on promising ideas of justice, of reckoning, of moral ambiguity, but never quite commits to the emotional and psychological depth required to make them resonate.

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