The curtains have opened on “Kesari Veer,” a film that promised to tell the epic tale of bravery and sacrifice, but unfortunately, it falls flat. This movie, produced by Kanu Chauhan, had all the ingredients to be a blockbuster, but it seems the recipe went wrong. Sooraj Pancholi, who makes a comeback with this film, is the talk of the town, but even his acting prowess can’t save the movie from its poorly written storyline and lackluster direction.
The story of “Kesari Veer” is set in the backdrop of the historic battle between the brave soldiers of Saurashtra and the ruthless invaders. The film’s premise is based on the courageous tale of Hamirji Gohil, who dares to challenge the barbaric Jafar Khan. However, the narrative fails to engage the audience emotionally, and the characters seem one-dimensional. The love story woven into the plot only adds to the confusion, making the film meander from its core theme.
Director Prince Dhiman’s approach to storytelling is more suited for television, and the cinematic experience is marred by poorly executed long shots and a lack of balance between the visual elements. The usually reliable Suniel Shetty and Vivek Oberoi are also unable to elevate the film due to their poorly written characters. The music, composed by the talented Monty Sharma, is unimpressive, and the visual effects are subpar.
Despite the flaws, Sooraj Pancholi’s determination to make a comeback is commendable. His journey, both on and off the screen, is a testament to his resilience. However, “Kesari Veer” is not the vehicle that will propel him back to stardom. The film’s failure is a reminder that even with a great idea, poor execution can lead to disaster.
In the end, “Kesari Veer” joins the long list of films that had the potential to be great but failed to deliver. As the curtain falls, the audience is left wondering what could have been if the filmmakers had invested more time and effort into crafting a compelling narrative and polishing the overall product.
