Let’s be real- most of us treat cinema start times like “suggestions,” casually strolling in halfway through the trailers with popcorn in one hand and zero regrets. But this time, Bollywood’s ultimate action icon Akshay Kumar has a message that might just change your movie-going habits:
“Don’t be late!”
(And no, he’s not just saying that because he’s a Virgo. Probably.)
The first 10 minutes = Straight-up emotional gut punch
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film stars Akshay Kumar as legendary lawyer Justice C. Sankaran Nair, alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday. Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh officially hit cinemas today, dropping on the 106th anniversary of the tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
At a recent screening in Mumbai, Akshay made it crystal clear: the opening scene isn’t just important- it’s everything.
“Those first few moments will hit you hard,” he told paparazzi.
“This isn’t just any intro. It sets the entire tone of the film. I really urge everyone to come on time and not miss even a second.”
Translation? Don’t roll in late thinking you’ll catch up- you won’t.
The film dives into one of the most brutal chapters of Indian history: the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. But instead of a slow burn, this is a courtroom showdown packed with rage, resistance, and real-life rebellion.
Akshay’s character, C. Sankaran Nair, is the bold barrister who legally challenged the British Empire- and his on-screen fire brings the courtroom to life. The first 10 minutes? They’ll throw you straight into the chaos and heartbreak. No warm-up. No easing in. Just raw, unapologetic impact.
Whether you’re going for the history, the drama, or just to watch Akshay absolutely own the screen, do yourself a favour: show up on time. Because those first few minutes? That’s where the story breathes, breaks, and begins.
So grab your tickets, set your reminders, as Kesari Chapter 2 isn’t just a film- It’s a cinematic punch to the gut, and honestly, we’re here for it.
