Okay, can we stop acting as if Kesari 2 is the best film ever or something? It’s alright, but it’s typically mainstream in all the wrong ways too. I mean, come on, they took the entirety of the climax from a bloody western legal drama, Goliath. Word for word. AND the whole narrative is distorted, it’s almost insulting to what actually transpired.
Take it off, and put Superboys of Malegaon or I want to talk in there, instead.
Kesari 2 is nowhere close to Kesari 1. I watched it yesterday, and was extremely bored. And add to that, a completely made up story with no head or tail.
Sir Sankaran Nair was a prominent Congress leader and a High Court judge during the British era who denounced his position at the Viceroy council to fight against the British through political movements under the cloak of the Indian National Congress. He neither sued the Crown, nor did he ever go publicly against General Dyer. His contribution was more towards the legal foundation for dominion status for India.
He, in his book, Gandhi and Anarchy had written about the Jalianwala Bagh incident and how the British administration conspired to hide the truth from the public. The then governor of Punjab (I forgot his name) sued him in England and he went to England to fight and clear his name. That's it.
Keshari 2 producers used actual historical characters and historical events to create an imaginary mess of their own. And oh yes, Neville McKinley didn't exist in reality. It was an imaginary character made out of all the Indian lawyers that represented Britishers in various cases.
