TMC slams Kesari Chapter 2 for distorting Bengal's freedom fight. FIR filed over alleged insult to revolutionaries.
The upcoming Akshay Kumar film Kesari Chapter 2 has triggered controversy even before its release. The makers now face an FIR. The complaint accuses them of misrepresenting Bengal’s freedom struggle. The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) has strongly criticized the film.
TMC leaders called the film’s portrayal “an insult” to Bengal’s revolutionary legacy. According to them, the story falsely depicts real events. Many politicians claim it erases the contributions of Bengal’s heroes. They demand corrections before the release.
The FIR mentions specific scenes that allegedly twist key historical facts. Critics believe the film glorifies only one region’s struggle. It downplays Bengal’s central role in the freedom movement. This has hurt sentiments in the state.
As expected, the controversy exploded online. Hashtags calling for a boycott of the film are now trending. Some users are demanding an apology from the filmmakers. Others are urging for a balanced retelling of India’s freedom story.
Lead actor Akshay Kumar has stayed silent on the issue so far. Fans now await his statement. Some believe he will distance himself from the creative choices. Others think he may defend the film’s team.
Supporters of the film argue for artistic freedom. However, critics insist that historical films must stay accurate. “Freedom of expression cannot excuse historical manipulation,” said a TMC spokesperson.
TMC leaders have asked the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to intervene. They want the film reviewed before certification. Legal action may escalate if no changes are made.
With the FIR filed, legal complications have now begun. The makers could face further charges if found guilty. They might have to re-edit parts of the film or delay the release altogether.
The Kesari Chapter 2 row has become more than a film dispute. For many in Bengal, it’s about pride. The legacy of freedom fighters cannot be fictionalized without consequences. As the release date nears, tension continues to grow.
