There was a time in Bollywood when content-driven films ruled the hearts of the audience. Films like 'Piku', 'Pink', 'Neerja' and 'Kapoor and Sons' proved that neither big sets nor star power, but strong story and sensitivity make a film memorable. Now that era has returned once again and the latest example of this is Akshay Kumar's film 'Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh'.
This film is based on a true incident which got very little space in history books. Showing the legal battle fought by Sir Chettur Shankaran Nair against British rule after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre on the big screen is not only a bold but also a very inspiring step.'Kesari Chapter 2' is proof that "Content is King" is not just a saying, but a truth. This film has not only won the box office but also the hearts of the people. It is being said to be worthy of a National Award on social media.
Directed by director Karan Singh Tyagi, the performances of Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, Ananya Pandey and Amit Sial have won the hearts of the audience. The special thing is that despite being a courtroom drama, the kind of appreciation the film is getting is rare in today's times.
If you want to know such a chapter of the Indian freedom struggle that has remained untold till date, then 'Kesari Chapter 2' is a must watch film for you. And this is also a lesson that even today the audience gives importance to true stories and strong content.
