It is only one thing about ‘Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jalianwala Bagh’. The story is really untold. Because, as long as it caught the screen on Friday, it was only present in the imaginarium of its manufacturers. As far as the facts go on, it is a cross between Manmohan Desai’s ‘Mard’ and Salman Khan’s ‘Veer’, both the tragedy and tragedies of history.

Remember the 1985 Amitabh Bachchan film, where Dara Singh takes out ‘Mard’ with a knife on his baby son’s chest, and prevents an aircraft from lassting by lassting? It was to keep Dara Singh’s throne and Amitabh Bachchan (Shishu who smiles while smiling), with a lost signature and many British characters.

The most comical part of his film was the presence of many characters of different ages at one place. Desai gathered Lord Curzon (derived as Karzu), who left India in 1905, General Dyer of 1919, and after Simon, after the Commission who visited India in 1928, on the same platform with the sole purpose of calling and beating by Bachan and his father.

‘Kesari 2’ is that kind of film. Director Karan Singh Tyagi kept the characters together with a completely separate episode of history, and Brigadier General Reginald Dyer and Lieutenant Governor Michael O’Dwir get confused, and cook a fictional test that has never happened. History killing will be a suitable details for this sorry fiction that insignitate an important chapter in Indian history.

Massacre in Amritsar:

There is nothing untold about the Jalianwala Bagh massacre. Dozens of books have chronic the massacre from various perspectives, which explain in detail about the circumstances of the event and the subsequent. The story is told from Indian and British perspectives and from General Dyer. It was dismissed in India, and in the British Parliament, where Winston Churchill derived it as an “uncontrolled demonic” event.

Not satisfied with the killing of unarmed protesters in Amritsar, the British imposed a Dracian Martial Act in Punjab. For several weeks after the incident, Dyer insulted Indians via a road, saluting every British, and publicly flogging. Many were detained, deported and strict punishment.

In popular culture, Gulzar watched a brilliantly forgetful film called ‘Jalianwala Bagh’ (1977), which bombed the box office. A recent OTT series, ‘The Wacking of a Nation’, an Indian member of the Hunter Commission, Chimnalal Harilal tries to see it from Settlewad (by giving him a fictional name). But the cinematic depiction of the tragedy is still ‘Gandhi’ by Richard Atenboro.

‘Kesari 2’ begins with the Jalianwala Bagh massacre of April 13, 1919, and the early shots are inspired by the film of Attenborough. It gradually gets hot with freedom with truth, before going to a version of history which would never be transpare.

1. It states that the massacre took place at 5:30 pm. Dyer ordered firing on peaceful protests around 4:30 pm. (Minor Gowse.)
2. It claims that 1650 were killed, and over 2330 rounds were officially fired by Dyer’s soldiers. Officially, 1650 rounds were fired and 379 were killed. (Major defects).
3. The film argues that some were part of the firing squads of Nepali, Gorkha and Baloch Sainik Dyer. half truth. Dyer led about 100 Gurkha and Sikhs from the point of view of massacre that day. However, those who set fire were primarily Gorkha.
4. Barrister Shankaran Nair (Akshay Kumar), the hero of the story (actually he was, but for a different reason), the British have been night to arrest the revolutionary poet Kirpal Singh. Trigger for the massacre, the Rowlut Act gave the British comprehensive powers to arrest anyone and to try the camera, to support the accused, Walk, delel Or appeal. Therefore, the British frame does not require a lawyer to help the poet.

The film then fly into some La La Bhumi of fantasy. This makes Shankaran Nair team a local lawyer (Ananya Pandey) to register a ‘massacre’ case against General Dyer in a local court.

General Dyer was never tried in any court for the massacre. In October 1919, the British asked the Hunter Commission to investigate some recent ‘disturbances’ in India. The Commission also inquired about the conduct of General Dyer and his claims that they had asked their soldiers to set fire as they feared unrest, chaos and violence.

Three Indians were part of the Hunter Committee. Shankaran Nair was not one of them. Based on the findings of the committee, General Dyer was relieved from his command in 1920. He died in England, denying that he had made a mistake.

Shankaran Nair vs O’Dwire

Shankaran Nair was a member of the Executive Council of Nair Viceroy – the pioneers of the Indian cabinet – as a member of the council on July 23, 1919, he agreed to impose martial law in Punjab (the case that shakes the empire: a man’s battle for the truth of Jillianwala Baga Malat and Ragah Pain. Montagu joined the Council.

In 1922, several months after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the conclusions of the Hunter Commission, and the transfer of Dyer from India, served as their Diwan to the Indore state, Shankaran Nair wrote a book ‘Gandhi and Anarchy’, a criticism of Mahatma Gandhi’s Civil Observation Movement. In this book, he said that “the atrocities of Punjab were committed with complete knowledge and approval of O’Divar”. Michael O’Dwire was the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab on the massacre. General Dior was an officer who ordered firing.

O’Dwyer sued Nair for a complaint and apologized. When Nair refused, O’Divar raised the case on the king’s bench in London (slightly different from a legal bench).

Finally, Nair lost the case with just one member of the jury. For his brave fight, Nair was honored as a hero, and his fight made him a place in the martyr’s gallery in Jalianwala Bagh.

However, in the film, Nair sushed on Dyer (not O’Dwire). The case is of the alleged massacre (not a complaint). And it is fought in India (not London).
And, if this is not enough, the judge presiding over the Legislative case is shown in the film as fair, fair and fair, when he was in contrast in Nair’s opinion.

I saw the film until the interval. I started by creating a list of impurities and distortions. But, after a while, I left the fruitless chase, realizing that the film was mercilessly and the hero of the film -Tankaran Nair was inheritance about ‘Butcher of Amritsar’.

If this is not a torture of history, we can call the most authentic record of the British Raj ‘Mard’, which is not with a pen but carved with a knife.
