Kesari Veer Review: Everything from the story to the direction is dull, after seeing the acting and VFX you will say that this is a copy..

Kesari Veer Review: Sooraj Pancholi is back on the big screen with Kesari Veer. Set in the 14th century, Kesari Veer is a 2-hour 41-minute historical drama that tells the story of the attacks on the Somnath temple when the temple was targeted by Muslim invader Zafar Khan. In the film, Sooraj Pancholi plays the role of Rajput king Hamirji Gohil, who along with warrior Vegda Ji, a devotee of Lord Shiva, fights Zafar Khan and his army. But, unfortunately, the film fails miserably in doing justice to his legacy.

Directed and written by Prince Dhiman, the film lacks vision and coordination. The story is scattered, the characters are incomplete and the overall execution is confusing. The story fails to engage the audience right from the beginning. As a result, the plot, which is based on a great real-life hero, looks boring and disappointing on screen.

Tried to copy Sanjay Leela Bhansali
After watching the film, its direction also seems lacking, possibly due to budget limitations. The film tries to copy Sanjay Leela Bhansali's grandeur but fails miserably. The visual effects and graphics are poor, which makes many important scenes look cartoonish. Instead of enhancing the drama or war scenes, the VFX weakens them.

Forced music
The most annoying aspect of 'Kesari Veer' is its unnecessary use of music. Which often overpowers the dialogues and scenes. Many songs scattered in the story do not do much and further hamper the already slow pace of the film.

Acting is not lively.
The acting also did not live up to expectations. Prince Dhiman's weak direction is fully supported by the poor acting of the main actors. It seems as if there is no expression on the faces of Sooraj Pancholi and Akanksha Sharma. Happiness, sadness, anger, pain… they portray every emotion in the same lifeless manner. Vivek Oberoi, who plays the villain, seems like a copy of Ranveer Singh's Alauddin Khilji from Padmaavat, with no depth at all. Suniel Shetty could have added gravitas to the film, but the story of the film fails to connect with the people.

The film fails on many fronts.

Overall, Kesari Veer is a disappointing film that fails on many fronts, be it the story, acting, direction, or execution. Despite the noble intention of celebrating a forgotten hero, the film ends up being a scattered and tedious one. A historical story requires finesse, emotion, and coordination, which the film lacks. So skip this film without any hesitation. It neither entertains nor informs.
