🎬 Jaat (2025) – Sunny Deol’s Mass-Packed Return to Action

 If you thought Gadar 2 was Sunny Deol’s last roar—think again. With Jaat , the action icon is back, angrier and louder than ever. Released in April 2025 , this film is a throwback to the kind of cinema we secretly miss—over-the-top, unapologetic, and made for the aam Janta . ⭐ Quick Ratings 🎭 Performance: 4.5/5 🎬 Direction: 4/5 🎶 Music & BGM: 4.2/5 🧨 Action: 5/5 📢 Mass Appeal: 5/5 🎥 The Story — Idli, Anger & a Warzone Jaat opens with a train breaking down in a dusty South Indian town. In walks Sunny Deol’s character—calm, silent, suspiciously too calm. An argument breaks out over a plate of idli , someone refuses to say “sorry”, and BOOM—Sunny’s dhai-kilo ka haath meets jawbone.

Kesari 2 (2025) – A Battle Rekindled with Honor and Legacy

After the resounding success of the 2019 film Kesari, which dramatized the legendary Battle of Saragarhi, Kesari 2 arrives with much anticipation. Directed by Anurag Singh once again and starring Akshay Kumar in a powerful reprisal of his role, the sequel doesn't just revisit history—it expands it. This time, the story dives deeper into the lives of the surviving Sikh soldiers and the broader consequences of their ultimate sacrifice.

Movie Rating: 4.2 / 5

🎬 Story: ★★★★☆ (4.0)
🎭 Performances: ★★★★★ (5.0)
🎥 Cinematography: ★★★★☆ (4.0)
🎶 Music & Background Score: ★★★★☆ (4.2)
✍️ Direction & Screenplay: ★★★★☆ (4.0)

Plot Overview

While the first Kesari ended with the martyrdom of Havildar Ishar Singh and his 20 brave companions, Kesari 2 moves forward to portray the aftermath of the battle, focusing on the ripple effect it had on British India, the families of the fallen, and the rising spirit of rebellion across the subcontinent.

The movie introduces new characters, including Ishar Singh’s son (played by Vicky Kaushal), who grows up hearing tales of valor and grapples with the legacy his father left behind. Torn between joining the British army like his father or fighting for India’s independence, the emotional core of Kesari 2 lies in this powerful generational conflict.

Cast & Crew

  • Akshay Kumar as Havildar Ishar Singh (appears in flashbacks)

  • Vicky Kaushal as Amar Singh, Ishar Singh's son

  • Rasika Dugal as Ishar Singh’s wife

  • Manav Vij, Ashwath Bhatt, and Raj Arjun in key supporting roles

  • Director: Anurag Singh

  • Producers: Karan Johar, Aruna Bhatia, and Apoorva Mehta

  • Music: Composed by Ajay-Atul, with a strong mix of Punjabi folk and patriotic rhythms

What Makes Kesari 2 Special

1. A Sequel with a Purpose

Unlike many sequels that ride on the success of their predecessors, Kesari 2 is rooted in real historical emotion. It doesn’t aim for heroism alone but also explores grief, identity, and the making of a freedom fighter.

2. Powerful Performances

Akshay Kumar’s limited yet impactful screen time brings the same fire that made the original film a hit. Vicky Kaushal, known for roles in Uri and Sardar Udham, brings raw energy and vulnerability that anchors the film.

3. Visual Brilliance

Cinematographer Anshul Chobey captures the rugged terrains of Punjab and Afghanistan with grandeur. The battlefield scenes, though fewer than the first, are strikingly realistic.

4. Cultural & Historical Depth

The film pays tribute not just to a battle but to an entire generation’s courage. Through Amar Singh's inner conflict, Kesari 2 manages to subtly critique colonial rule while honoring the Sikh martial spirit.

Music & Soundtrack

The soundtrack features:

  • “Virsa” – a soulful song about legacy

  • “Sarfarosh” – a motivational anthem

  • “Maavan Diya Duaan” – an emotional track centered around maternal hope and fear

Ajay-Atul’s music beautifully amplifies the emotional stakes of the film.

Final Verdict

Kesari 2 is not just a war drama—it’s a moving tale of family, faith, and fire. It bridges the past and the future, asking questions that are still relevant today about loyalty, identity, and nationhood.

If Kesari was about one unforgettable day in Indian military history, Kesari 2 is about the aftermath that shaped countless others. With strong performances, gripping storytelling, and a meaningful message, this sequel is worth your time.
