Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan's recently released film Kesari Chapter 2 gave a glimpse into the horrors of the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

'F*** you' chant erupts at Kesari 2 screening
After the show, Akshay addressed the audience, recalling the emotions that fueled every scene of the film. The filmmakers had earlier revealed that the actual visuals were too disturbing to show. Audiences also caught a glimpse of Akshay’s character, advocate C. Sankaran Nair, who delivered a searing retort to General Reginald Dyer after being called a ‘slave’ to the British Empire: “F*** you.” Today, that very line echoed beyond the screen.
“When we were making this film, every scene reminded us how much anger must have burned inside everyone after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. And unfortunately, today, that same rage has been reignited in all of us. I think you all know what I’m talking about. Even today, to those terrorists, we have just one thing to say — what I said in the film,” Akshay said, passing the mic to the crowd.
The theatre erupted as fans shouted the iconic line: “F*** you.”

Horror in Pahalgam: 26 civilians killed
The sentiment follows the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 civilians including 25 Indian nationals and one Nepali citizen lost their lives on April 22. Reports indicate the attack happened between 2:30 and 3 PM in the Baisaran meadow area, a popular tourist spot. Terrorists reportedly descended from the hills and opened fire indiscriminately at families and children visiting the valley.

The Pahalgam attack has been described as one of the deadliest assaults since the 2019 Pulwama bombing. Several Bollywood celebrities, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Rajinikanth, and Aamir Khan, have condemned the incident, calling it heartbreaking and cowardly.
