Kesari 2 OTT release: Akshay Kumar's courtroom drama to stream on THIS platform. Check details
The courtroom drama has begun streaming on JioHotstar from June 13.
The film hit cinemas on April 18 and was well received by both critics and viewers. Blending history with intense courtroom drama, 'Kesari 2' explores the lesser-known legal and emotional aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Akshay Kumar plays a lawyer leading the fight for justice, while R Madhavan and Ananya Panday support with strong performances in pivotal roles.
Unlike the first 'Kesari', which focused on the Battle of Saragarhi, Kesari Chapter 2 shifts its lens to a different historical tragedy. Told largely through powerful courtroom scenes, the film aims to shed light on the untold voices surrounding Jallianwala Bagh, giving it a fresh and emotional perspective.
The film had a steady start at the domestic box office, earning ₹ 7.75 crore on its opening day. It gradually picked up momentum despite tough competition from Sunny Deol's 'Jaat' and Emraan Hashmi's 'Ground Zero'. However, its performance was slightly affected after the release of Ajay Devgn's much-anticipated 'Raid 2'.
As of now, the film's India net collection stands at ₹ 92.65 crore, while its worldwide total has reached approximately ₹ 144 crore.

War 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Hit or flop? Here's how much Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's film earned on Saturday
Released on August 14, Ayan Mukerji's action-packed War 2 has set theatres ablaze. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the film stormed into cinemas just ahead of Independence Day weekend. The response has been fiery — both critics and audiences have showered love. And the numbers reflect it. In only two days, the film comfortably crossed the Rs 100-crore mark, standing firm against the juggernaut of Rajinikanth's Coolie. How did the film perform day by day? Day 1: Rs 52 crore Day 2: Rs 56 crore Day 3 (Saturday trends): Rs 3.55 crore (early estimates) Total (India): Rs 111.9 crore Worldwide: Rs 165 crore Even in just three days, War 2 has already toppled the lifetime earnings of Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 and Sunny Deol's Jaat. Blockbuster or flop? By all signs, the film is tilting towards blockbuster territory. The first two days saw a dream run, powered by Hrithik's charisma and Jr NTR's pan-India pull. While Saturday showed a dip with Rs 3.55 crore, the overall tally keeps it safe in the hit zone. Importantly, it has managed to hold ground even while competing head-to-head with Rajinikanth's record-shattering Coolie. What makes War 2 significant? This isn't just another big release. War 2 is a crucial link in YRF's much-hyped Spy Universe, which already includes Pathaan and the Tiger films. Mukerji brings his trademark spectacle to the franchise, expanding its scale and reach. The film also slips in a tease for what lies ahead. A post-credit sequence introduces Bobby Deol's arrival in Alpha, the next chapter, alongside Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. Clearly, YRF isn't slowing down in its pursuit of building India's interconnected spy world. Who stars in this action spectacle? Fronted by Hrithik Roshan as the returning Kabir and Jr NTR as the new force in the universe, War 2 adds Kiara Advani in a powerful role and Ashutosh Rana reprising his part. Together, they fuel a film designed to set screens on fire. While Rajinikanth's Coolie may have the sharper edge in numbers, War 2 has carved its path. Crossing Rs 100 crore in two days and touching Rs 165 crore globally is no small feat. More than the clash, the takeaway is clear: Indian audiences are hungry for spectacle, and both films are serving it in their grand ways.

Hindi films and series that are all about exemplary acts of bravery: Neerja, Airlift and more
When it comes to tales of courage in the face of adversity, the ones that come to mind, more often than not, involve an officer in a uniform, especially from the army. But every now and then, one also comes across stories of immense bravery, where individuals put the greater good ahead of their own well-being. Here's a look at some of these tales that are available on OTTplay Premium. Neerja and Airlift Films on OTT about men and women who were not in uniform and yet showed bravery Based on a true story, this is about a courageous airhostess, Neerja, who decided to save passengers during a hijack. She rescued all the passengers, only to end up losing her life while on duty. Her act of bravery was adapted for the big screen years later and left many with a sense of pride for her sacrifice. Kay Kay Menon's Himmat Singh in Special Ops leads a special team that investigates urgent matters in detail when the system he works for fails him again-and-again. The story, which began with the Parliament attack, escalated to humans vs. AI in the second season. Akshay Kumar's Ranjit Katiyal was just another businessman who could have chosen to abandon thousands and save his family during the Iraq-Kuwait tensions in 1990. Taking on the challenge, he airlifted thousands and rescued them out of the war zone along with the help of his wife, Amrita Katiyal (Nimrat Kaur). One lawyer decided to go up against the Godman. Manoj Bajpayee, in the role of PC Solanki, is the very lawyer who took on a case that seemed impossible to win. He did not just win the case but also ensured full justice for the victim. The most recent example of men and women winning without the military uniform was seen in The Hunt - The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case. A CBI team cracked the case of former PM Rajiv Gandhi's assassination in times when technology nearly didn't exist.
