Vicky Kaushal took to his official Instagram handle to praise the film. He wrote,"An untold story told with so much grit, sincerity and sensitivity! This is one hell of a directorial debut @karanstyagi."
He further added,"Kudos to @karanjohar @bindraamritpal @anandntiwari @apoorva1972 @adarpoonawalla for bringing out this important chapter from our history to celluloid. @akshaykumar @actormaddy @ananyapanday @amitsial Absolute class. Absolute magic! Don’t miss!"

Trade analysts review
Veteran film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh was full of praise for Kesari 2, calling it “Outstanding. Powerful. Hard-hitting. Gripping… One of the finest films to emerge from the Hindi film industry.”
He lauded Akshay Kumar, saying, “Terrific. His outburst during the climax elevates the proceedings to an all-time high. This easily ranks among his finest performances.”
Adarsh also praised R. Madhavan, calling his act “a knockout performance — chilling and precise.” He added that after Shaitaan last year, this is another compelling role by the actor.
He didn’t stop there. “#SimonPaisleyDay, as #GeneralDyer, is vicious to the core – cold, calculated, and extremely effective. #AnanyaPanday springs a wonderful surprise — she fits her part very well,” Taran Adarsh concluded.
