Historic Screening of Kesari Chapter 2 Hosted by Advocate Vineet Dhanda Unites Over 1,000 Legal Luminaries to Honour India’s Legal Legacy

New Delhi Hindustanabtak.com/Dinesh Bhardwaj :  In a landmark event celebrating India’s rich legal heritage, Advocate Vineet Dhanda—Supreme Court counsel and Standing Counsel for the Central Government at the Delhi High Court—hosted an exclusive screening of the newly released film Kesari Chapter 2 in New Delhi. The event drew an unprecedented gathering of over 1,000 members of the legal fraternity, including Hon’ble Judges of the Supreme Court and Delhi High Court, Additional Solicitor Generals of India, and senior Standing Counsels representing the Government of India.

Also in attendance were the President, Vice President, and distinguished members of the Supreme Court Bar Association, the Delhi High Court Bar Association, and representatives from various District Court Bar Associations, making the evening a rare and powerful moment of unity within India’s legal community.

The gathering commenced with a solemn one-minute silence in remembrance of the victims of the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam—an expression of collective mourning and national solidarity.

Starring Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, Ananya Panday, and Amit Sial, Kesari Chapter 2 explores a stirring chapter from India’s colonial history: the legal crusade launched by Indian lawyers against the British Empire following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The film highlights the brave legal efforts to bring imperial injustice to account, portraying courtrooms as battlegrounds of resistance and valor.

Addressing the gathering, Advocate Vineet Dhanda—who also serves as Chairman of the National Anti-Doping Agency’s Disciplinary Committee and is a former Assistant Solicitor General of India—remarked:

“This is not just a film screening; it is a historic congregation to honour the unsung legal heroes of India’s freedom movement. Kesari Chapter 2 reminds us that justice was fought for not only on the streets, but also in the courts. The film is a stirring tribute to the courage and intellect of those who challenged colonial injustice within the framework of law.”

Actor R. Madhavan, who plays a pivotal role in the film, shared his heartfelt gratitude:

“I really appreciate Mr. Vineet Dhanda and his family for this great initiative of showcasing patriotic Indian movies. I think it’s a phenomenal move, and I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our honourable judges, learned Additional Solicitor Generals, Standing Counsel for the Government of India, along with the esteemed members of the Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, and other District Bar Associations. This has been a big passion project for all of us involved, and I really hope all of you are as touched by this film as we were while making it.”

Actress Ananya Panday also expressed her admiration for the event and its purpose:

“I appreciate Vineet Sir and his family for this great initiative of showcasing patriotic movies. I welcome the esteemed members of the Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, and other District Court Bar Associations. God bless and Jai Hind.”
