Overview

• Kesari Veer, released on May 23, 2025, sold only 2,000 advance tickets across top national chains, signaling weak audience interest.
• The film, led by Sooraj Pancholi and directed by Prince Dhiman, dramatizes Rajput warrior Hamirji Gohil's defense of the Somnath Temple against the Tughlaq Empire.
• Critics have largely panned the movie, citing poor storytelling, subpar visual effects, and uninspired performances as major flaws.
• Industry analysts predict a disappointing first-day box office collection, estimated to fall below ₹1 crore, due to limited showings and strong competition from other releases.
• Sooraj Pancholi's theatrical comeback after a four-year hiatus has been overshadowed by negative reviews and lackluster audience response.
