Kesari 2 OTT release: When and where to watch Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday and R Madhavan's film online
Kesari 2 OTT release: Did you miss watching Kesari 2 in theatres? Here's your chance to watch the high-voltage courtroom drama. Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, starring Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday and R Madhavan will be soon streaming online. The film was originally released on 18 April in theatres and received a warm response from the audience and critics. As per multiple portals, Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh will make its OTT debut on 13 June. The film will be available online on Jio Hotstar. An official announcement from the Jio Hotstar team is yet to come. Kesari 2 is helmed by director Karan Singh Tyagi. It is the spiritual sequel to Akshay Kumar's hit action film Kesari (2019). The film is based on the book The Case That Shook The Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat, centred around C. Sankaran Nair and the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It stars Akshay Kumar as Nair and also features R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday as lawyers Neville McKinley and Dilreet Gill respectively. Kesari 2 is produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Akshay Kumar's Cape Of Good Films. The film saw a decent start at the domestic box office after minting ₹ 7.75 crore on its opening day. It went on to pick up pace, clashing with Sunny Deol's Jaat and Emraan Hashmi's Ground Zero. It also somewhat suffered after the release of Ajay Devgn's much-anticipated Raid 2. Going by the latest updates and industry tracker Sacnilk, Kesari Chapter 2 made a total worldwide collection of approximately ₹ 145 crore. While its India Net collection was ₹ 92.63 crore, its India Gross collection was ₹ 110.47 crore. The film recently completed 50 days in theatres since its release. The Live Mint review of Kesari 2 reads, 'The film makes the same allegation as the recent series The Waking of a Nation—that Jallianwala Bagh was a premeditated massacre. An investigation of this, and the real facts of Nair's life, would've been enough for a fine, sobering film. Instead, we get a misleading wishful fantasy. 'The event speaks to the present times that we live in,' Tyagi told Mid-Day. 'It's a post-truth world where fake news is rampant.' But Kesari 2 is also post-truth.'

In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it is often the dazzling part of a celebrity's life that takes the center stage. However, what happens behind the scenes when the curtain falls is a lot more than what meets the eye. We often hear stories of successful actors having a turbulent interpersonal relationship, complex dynamics, and struggles. One such story is of an actress who captivated the hearts of millions as soon as she entered the industry, and Today she is also celebrating her 50th birthday. The actress we are talking about is none other than Ameesha Patel. Ameesha made her debut with the film 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai' in the year 2000. The film was appreciated both critically and commercially and became a massive hit. She was featured opposite Hritik Roshan. Amisha's beauty, innocence, and strong screen presence quickly caught the audience's notice, and soon she became a fan favourite. Ameesha did many other films like Humraaz, Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, and more, but another film that rose her to fame was Gadar. However, it is believed that Amisha's career saw a major drop after her relationship controversy with Vikram Bhatt. As per the reports, Ameesha Patel got involved with Director Vikram Bhatt, who was already married. With the uncertainty and instability of Vikram's marital status, their relationship couldn't last for long, and eventually, they parted ways.

She even jeopardized her career and family relationships for him. In an interview, Amisha openly said, 'I believe in speaking my heart out, which I think is the biggest shortcoming in me. I accepted two relationships in front of the world and both of them affected my career. After this, I stayed away from men for 12-13 years.'
