Akshay Kumar, his face sandwiched between an oversized turban and an oversized beard, nevertheless conveys the single-minded motivation of Ishar Singh, convincingly pulling off the rousing dialogue and visceral action scenes.However the film, on the whole, is well-intentioned but bloated. Its a two-and-a-half hour battlefield bluster that could have done with sharper writing and judicious editing. When the lights come back on in the end, you cant shake off the feeling of having survived war yourself. Im going with two-and-a-half out of five for Kesari.

Anurag Singhs direction is very good. He has handled the subject with the sensitivity it deserves. His narrative style succeeds in evoking feelings of patriotism in the hearts of the viewers.On the whole, Kesari is a box-office winner. It will do very well at the ticket windows. Business in East Punjab and Delhi will be excellent. It will join the 100-crore club very fast.

What does wobble is the writing, which needed to be tighter and more layered. The characters are all one-note and the film is 150 minutes long the entire first half is an introduction to the characters and a build up to the battle, which only begins in the second. Towards the end, there are long snatches with barely any dialogue. Theres just fighting, screaming and slicing. Instead 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. Im going with two and a half stars

Akshay is the film. And he pulls it off, keeping that Kesari pagdi aloft right till the end, delivering thundering speeches, and keeping his mens morale up. His Ishar Singh is inhabited and convincing, and it helps that his Punjabi accent is completely on point. Finally, despite its predictable arcs, the outcome which we already know, and its length, we stay with the film

But for all its flaws, Kesari has enough self-sustaining fire to be a well-above-average film. And with Akshay Kumar doing the heavy lifting with unwavering enthusiasm, the star’s fans will find it easy to get into the swing of this tale of extraordinary courage in the face of daunting adversity.

Having said that, the film is a must watch. It convincingly packages patriotic emotions with some superbly-crafted action. As I said earlier, the effect is disturbing, but its an unmissable experience. The first half is slightly slow and the Punjabi dialogues are a bit hard to follow. However, if you are patient with this, you are rewarded with a terrific second half. The climax will leave you teary-eyed and B Praaks Teri Mitti, composed by Arko and written by Manoj Muntashir, is too moving.

Kesari is a powerful film because it has an innate sense of emotional intelligence and raw shock value, too. It showcases the atrocity of war and violence unabashedly, always condemning the bloodshed at hand and forever celebrating the bravery of men.With technical brilliance, intricate writing and thundering performances, Kesari is a loud war cry that evokes strong feelings of patriotism and it also wrenches your heart with its climactic tragedy. The visceral power of its visuals and emotions is staggering.

Despite all its flaws, the movie will choke you up by the end and you will find yourself shedding tears remembering those 21 brave souls. The song Teri Mitti in the climax will hit you right in the feels. So, I would suggest taking some tissue papers with you for sure, you’ll need it. Overall, Kesari is an emotional action fest that will resonate with those who love action films and with Akshay Kumar fans. It may not be the best patriotic film (or an action film) to come out of Bollywood but it surely is worth your time and money.

All said and done, Kesari is a brave depiction of courage. Akshay Kumars streak on delivering memorable performances is not ending anytime soon. Watch it get entertained, informed and emotional at the same time. Three and a half stars!
