Available on Amazon Prime, Kesari is a 2019. Indian film based on the September 12, 1897, Battle of Saragarhi, where twenty-one soldiers of the 36th Sikhs held off in excess of 10000 Afghans for six hours until the last man, a signalman in his final message to the neighboring fort, requested permission to leave his post and take up his rifle. When the outpost was retaken by British forces, there were more than six hundred Afghan casualties in and around the fort. I watched Kesari based on a recommendation of a youtube channel on historic movies that "warned" of the production style of Hindi/Bollywood films. This is not your typical war film and in the opening statement, there is a disclaimer to the effect that it is not a documentary but a fictionalized retelling of a last stand. There are many things in this movie that would normally annoy me. But, even with dubious to down right silly gun stuff, over the top fight scenes, about every war movie trope you can imagine, and even a couple of Bollywood musical numbers, the movie is visually stunning and well acted to the point that I found I had stopped needing the sub-titles. If nothing else, it is something different.
