Akshay Kumar soaks himself completely in the role of Ishar Singh.
When the Kesari trailer was dropped, it became evident that this Akshay Kumar film was going to be different. Directed by Anurag Singh, this film retraces the Battle of Saragarhi in 1897 that is long forgotten. The cast consists of Akshay Kumar, Parineeti Chopra, Rimple Dhindsa, and Vikram Kocchar among others. Kesari follows the battle that 21 braveheart Sikh soldiers valiantly fought and helped thwart the attempt of the Afghan invaders to capture British held forts in India. A story of valor and courage, the Battle of Saragarhi unfolds in theatres this week never to be forgotten.
What’s Kesari About:
Set in the 1897 pre-independence period, Kesari focuses on three British-occupied forts that were originally built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh – Fort Saragarhi, Fort Gulistan and Fort Lockhart. Havildar Ishar Singh (Akshay Kumar) who is posted at Gulistan Fort gets transferred to Saragarhi Fort due to disobedience of orders from a superior British officer. When he reaches Saragarhi, he meets 20 Sikh soldiers who look or behave nothing like a soldier. Havildar Ishar Singh slowly understands them and molds them into being disciplined officers and considerate humans at the same time. A contentious region, the three forts soon become part of an Afghan plan of invasion. On the 12th of September, 1897, these invaders attack Saragarhi Fort, which is held by Ishar Singh. How the 21 courageous soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment fight these invaders who outnumber them drastically is what the film’s second half is all about.
