Kesari plays out as a cinematic tribute to the valour and sacrifice of 21 men who preferred to die on the battlefield showing exemplary courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

We are first introduced to Havaldar Ishar Singh (Akshay Kumar), an upright soldier in the British Indian Army who routinely gets into trouble with his seniors for his headstrong opinion on justice and service.

Upset with him for not following orders, Ishar Singh is sent to Saragarhi Fort to take charge. 

Apart from its strategic importance in the British rule in the province, it hasn’t seen much military action. But all that changes when local Tribe leaders gang up and march towards Saragarhi. 

What happens next? Well, listen to the podcast and find out!
