MUMBAI: As we gear up for a slew of patriotic films, two highly anticipated releases are capturing the attention of cinephiles and nationalists alike—Kesari 2 starring Akshay Kumar and Ground Zero with Emraan Hashmi. Both films promise to delve into the nation's rich history and valor, but they offer distinctly different narratives and approaches to patriotism.
Kesari 2, the much-awaited sequel to the successful Kesari, once again stars Akshay Kumar in the role of C. Sankaran Nair. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, this film also starring R Madhavan and Ananya Panday continues the saga of bravery by Nair who fought the unprecedented battle against the British empire. Inspired by real life events and adapted from the book “The Case that Shook the Empire”. Fans are eagerly anticipating Akshay's return to one of the most iconic roles in recent Bollywood history, as the actor’s portrayal of courage and patriotism struck a chord with audiences in the first part. The sequel is expected to elevate the stakes even higher, with a focus on the aftermath of history’s most important chapter, The Jallianwalah Baug Massacre that shaped India’s history.
On the other hand, Emraan Hashmi's Ground Zero explores a more contemporary and gripping narrative. Set against the backdrop of the 2001 parliament attack, with Hashmi essaying the role of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey who led to uncover the mastermind behind the attack, ‘Ghazi Baba’ which became India’s biggest anti-terror operation. The BSF officer was also awarded Keerti Chakra in 2005. Directed by renowned filmmaker Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar, also starring Sai Tamhankar. Ground Zero is anticipated to highlight the human cost of war while underscoring India's tactical and diplomatic efforts on the global stage.
Both films, though differing in their storytelling, have generated massive excitement. Kesari 2 taps into India's martial past, while Ground Zero brings attention to modern-day challenges faced by the nation. With stellar performances and powerful narratives, these films are expected to further fuel the spirit of patriotism in Indian cinema. Fans are eagerly awaiting these cinematic experiences that promise not only entertainment but also a deep emotional connection to India's valor and resilience.
