Kesari Chapter 2 is a Bollywood film focusing on the aftermath of the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre, shifting from the battlefield heroism of the first Kesari to a legal confrontation led by Akshay Kumar as lawyer C. Sankaran Nair, with R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday in key roles.The film, released in theaters on April 18, 2025, earned Rs 4.76 crore in India shortly after its debut but was leaked in HD online, potentially impacting its expected Rs 8-9 crore opening day box office, as reported by trade tracker Sacnilk. It will stream on JioHotstar starting June 13, 2025, following its theatrical run, aligning with the platform's growing catalog of historical dramas, as noted on JustWatch, despite mixed reviews on its commercial elements and historical portrayal.
