Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday’s historical courtroom drama, Kesari Chapter 2, released in theatres. Film is produced by Dharma Productions.
Kesari Chapter 2, the powerful cinematic tribute to the heroes of the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy, recently held a deeply emotional special screening in Amritsar. What made the evening unforgettable was the presence of the descendants of the real-life victims, who came together to witness the retelling of a chapter that has remained etched in the soul of India’s history.
The families, many of whom have preserved the memory of their ancestors through generations, were visibly moved as they watched the stirring portrayal of the events that unfolded on that fateful day in 1919. The film’s heartfelt depiction of sacrifice, resilience, and the undying spirit of India struck a profound chord, making it more than just a movie — it became a tribute, a remembrance, and a moment of collective healing.
After the screening, many family members expressed gratitude to the makers for bringing this story to the big screen with such sincerity and sensitivity. Tears, memories, and pride filled the air, as the younger generations connected with their past in a way words alone could never capture.
Kesari Chapter 2 continues to receive acclaim for its moving narrative and powerful performances, and this special screening in Amritsar stands as a testament to the film’s impact — not just as entertainment, but as an important piece of storytelling that honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Who was C. Sankaran Nair?
Chettur Sankaran Nair was a prominent figure and played an important role during India’s pre-independence era. He started his career as a lawyer in 1880 at the Madras High Court.
Later, he was appointed to a committee investigating the Malabar district. He also served as the Advocate-General for the government and worked as an acting judge until 1908. From 1908 to 1915, he was a permanent judge at the Madras High Court.
He was honoured as a Companion of the Indian Empire by the King-Emperor in 1904 and was knighted in 1912. After the Jallianwala Bagh massacre on April 13, 1919, he resigned from the Viceroy’s Council in protest, refusing to be part of the colonial administration’s cruelty.
It marks the spiritual sequel to Akshay Kumar’s 2019 release, Kesari, which was based on the 1897 Battle of Saragarhi.
