Sooraj Pancholi's Kesari Veer Being Sidelined? Karni Sena Makes Big Claims
Last Updated: Kesari Veer tells the story of unsung warriors who fought valiantly to protect the Somnath temple from invading forces. Sooraj Pancholi recently made his comeback with the movie Kesari Veer. Released on May 23, the historical drama pays tribute to Veer Hamirji Gohil, the brave warrior who defended the Somnath Temple against the Tughlaq Empire. However, it has received an underwhelming response and has earned hardly Rs 1 crore at the box office as of now. Amid all this, Karni Sena has claimed that the film might be getting sidelined. Recently, Karni Sena leader Dr Raj Shekhawat issued a strong statement and addressed film distributors and theatre owners. 'We, the audience and supporters of cinema, would like to ask all film distributors and theatre owners what objection do you have to giving Kesari Veer a prime-time slot? You've allotted it morning shows when viewer footfall is relatively low. Why is this historic film being sidelined in such a manner?" he said. Urging theatre owners to re-evaluate their scheduling, the Karni Sena leader added, 'There is still time to make a change. We urge you to contribute by giving this important film the visibility it deserves through prime-time shows. Otherwise, we may be compelled to take this issue to a public forum." He also appealed to the public to support the Sooraj Pancholi starrer by watching it in cinemas and said, 'At the same time, I appeal to the citizens of this country to go to theatres in large numbers and support Kesari Veer. The film is based on the valour of the great warrior Hamir Singh Gohil and those brave souls who sacrificed their lives to protect the sacred Somnath temple. Let us come together to support such films so that filmmakers are encouraged not discouraged to bring our heroic history to life on screen." Kesari Veer tells the story of unsung warriors who fought valiantly to protect the Somnath temple from invading forces. Besides Sooraj Pancholi, the film also stars Suniel Shetty as the fearless Vegda Ji. Debutant Akanksha Sharma takes on the role of the fierce Rajal, whereas Vivek Oberoi portrays the ruthless antagonist, Zafar. Directed by Prince Dhiman and produced by Kanubhai Chauhan under the Chauhan Studios banner, Kesari Veer is a Panorama Studios worldwide release. First Published:

Kesari Veer, starring Sooraj Pancholi, Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Akanksha Sharma, began its theatrical journey on a low note.

The movie couldn't impress the audience much and met with an average word-of-mouth, which is a major concern for the makers. Had the movie received a positive response from the audience, things could have been better. Looks like the re-launch of Sooraj Pancholi isn't going to help him in any way. The actor will have to witness another failure and wait a little long for his first Clean Hit movie. Let's see how the movie grows over the weekend. For the unversed, the movie explores the untold story of a Rajput warrior, Hamirji Gohli, who fought against the Tughlaq Empire to protect Somnath Temple. While Sooraj Pancholi plays the lead role of Hamirji Gohli, Vivek Oberoi essaying the role of the antagonist. Kesari Veer is clashing with Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf and Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade's comedy drama Kapkapiii. While Bhool Chuk Maaf is luring the audience, Kapkapiii isn't doing much at the box office. All eyes are now on the weekend growth of all the three titles.

Kesari Veer Final Advance Booking: Sooraj Pancholi, Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi's period drama sells just 2000 tickets in top national chains
Bollywood movie Kesari Veer, starring Sooraj Pancholi, Suniel Shetty, and Vivek Oberoi in the lead roles, is all set to debut on the silver screens this Friday. The period drama helmed by Prince Dhiman recorded a dull advance booking and is expected to open on a low note. Kesari Veer sells 2,000 tickets in top national chains for Day 1 Backed by Chauhan Studios, the movie sold around 2,000 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis- for the opening day. The fate of Kesari Veer relies heavily on word-of-mouth. If the movie gets a favourable reception, it can only attract the audience to the cinemas. The movie doesn't have much buzz as its promotional assets couldn't ignite the curiosity among the audience. Based on the low awareness around its release and low advance booking, the Sooraj Pancholi starrer will likely open under Rs 1 crore at the box office. Let's see if the movie can get good walk-ins and spot bookings on its opening day. For the uninitiated, Kesari Veer explores the untold story of a Rajput warrior, Hamirji Gohli, who fought against the Tughlaq Empire to protect Somnath Temple. While Sooraj Pancholi plays the lead role of Hamirji Gohli, Vivek Oberoi will be seen as the antagonist. Kesari Veer will clash with Bhool Chuk Maaf and Kapkapiii. While the latter is not a threat, the Rajkummar Rao starrer comedy drama can definitely dent its box office collection. Kesari Veer in cinemas Kesari Veer will be available in cinemas nearby from May 23rd onwards. You can book your tickets from the online ticket-booking websites or grab them from the counter itself.
