The Hollywood Reporter

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

The Indian Express

Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 is oblivious about the irony of professing free speech while actively spreading misinformation.

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

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