Shashi Tharoor praises Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2, says, "the message of the film was brilliantly done"

Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh is currently running in the theatre and receiving compliments from critics and audiences alike. However, Indian politician, writer, and former diplomat Shashi Tharoor has also chimed in to shower praise on the film and the makers.

He recently watched Kesari 2 in the theatres and talked to the paparazzi. During the conversation, the politician said, “I thought was an amazingly well-made, well-crafted film. It took some liberties with historical facts, but it says at the very beginning it's fiction. But what it did was capture the spirit of resistance, specifically using the instruments of the British court system.”

He explained, “You can’t win in the end, and we sadly waited twenty-eight years after Daniel Wallad to become free. But the message of the film was brilliantly done. I must say, as usual, in a very high-quality production…”

Shashi Tharoor further complimented the acting of the actors and the filmmakers' directions and said, “The acting, the direction, the way the story unfolded, everything was just so compelling. There wasn’t one dull moment.”
He also showed his concern about the narrative and noted, “I mean I was worried that for many people, just seeing courtroom scenes might not be so compelling but the way the story came out. I think it was impossible to turn your eye away for one second. Very remitting, very well done.”

He admitted while recalling, “I am a fan of Shankar and Nair for a long time. In fact, eight years ago here in Thrimanandapuram, I delivered a speech memorializing, talking about his life and achievements, but though some of this, of course, romanticizes him if you like in a very very positive way.”
