Kesari Chapter 2 Interval Review: This movie is constantly giving me goosebumps. This might be the best performance from Ananya Pandey. In 5 minutes Maddy showed why he is the best. The song before the interval was preety unnecessary, I know tried to set the feel of a British Pub
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ½#KesariChapter2 is a MASTERPIECE. It hits hard with raw emotion, edge-of-the-seat thrills, and a wave of patriotism that gives you goosebumps. #AkshayKumar is fierce, flawless, and unforgettable. This one’s for every Indian. MUST WATCH. 👍
