This the the true story. As well as this film is inspired by a real incident. The trailer of Akshay Kumar starrer kesari, on the incidents from battle of Saragarhi, set the premise straight when Havildar ishar Singh ( Akshays Kumar) says "bahar kumkum se kumkum dust hazaar hai aur hum ekkis was put a haliourous impact. Akshay Kumar, shoulders the burden of pulling off this masterful telling of a folk tale with the suitable ease. He is gentle, authoritative, comic, sensitive and of course a fierce warrior all rolled in one and Kumar pulls each off with just the suitable degree of dramatic restraint.
Parineeti was also playing a great role now we again come back to the story when a few days ago in a quick exchange with trade pundits, I had quizzed them on what they thought would be kesari's fate at the box-office and they were certain that it would be a hit. But, I will venture out and say that in his repertoire of films, kesari could certainly rank among his performances and possibly his biggest blockbusters.
