Stealing Hearts in Kesari Chapter 2
While her childhood charm is winning the internet, Ananya is also receiving widespread acclaim for her performance in the historical courtroom drama Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh. The actress plays Dilreet Gill, a bold and principled character that has deeply resonated with viewers.
Taking to Instagram again, Ananya expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming response, sharing media reviews and writing an emotional note. “We need more people in the world like Dilreet Gill and I’m so honoured to have played her on screen… It is a film I will forever be proud to be a part of,” she wrote, thanking the film’s team including director Karan Singh Tyagi, producers Karan Johar and Amritpal Bindra, and actors Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan.
Critical Acclaim and Powerful Performances
The film has been praised for its strong writing and impactful acting. A review by News18 highlighted Akshay Kumar’s transformative performance as C. Sankaran Nair, a lawyer who dared to challenge the British Raj following the tragic 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre. “Akshay completely sheds off his superstar image and leans on his acting prowess,” read the review. R. Madhavan also shines in the role of Advocate Neville McKinley, making Kesari Chapter 2 a compelling courtroom drama with historical weight and emotional depth.
