While

good,
the

Strong

"The
movie
Kesari
is
a
marvelous
projection
of
courage,
power
&
the
spirit
of
#Indiansoldiers
at
all
times.
Congratulating
@akshaykumar
and
all
the
21
actors
for
the
success.
Just
1
thing
that
my
parents
missed,
wish
the
song
'Sanu
Kendi' was
a
part
of
the
movie."

"I
just
wished
#KesariReview
could
have
been
a
lot
lot
better.
No
clue
what
made
the
director
not
showcase
much
on
the
actual
war
that
explains
the
valour
of
21courageous
Sikh
Soldiers
.
The
series
on
Netflix
purely
justified.
Not
that
happy
with
movie."
