In the trailer, Nair (a South Indian character) is seen wearing a Kada (a steel bracelet, one of the Five Ks or Panj Pyare, a set of symbols that represent Sikh identity).

While movies have already been made on the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre \u2013 Vinod Khanna\u2019s Jallian Wala Bagh (1977), Ajay Devgn\u2019s The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002), and Vicky Kaushal\u2019s Sardar Udham (2021) are a few \u2013 the Akshay Kumar-starrer seems to be taking the portrayal of brutality to another level. The trailer includes shots where bodies are severed, limbs are ripped apart in the most violent manner.<\/p>\n

If you are a movie buff, the shot of a board with the message \u201cDogs and Indians are not allowed\u201d must have taken you back to Amitabh Bachchan<\/a>\u2019s 1985 film Mard, which includes an 11-minute action sequence revolving around similar themes. While Big B physically bashed the Britishers, Akshay Kumar\u2019s character takes the passive aggressive approach. Sharing a urinal with General Dyer, he looks over and says, \u201cBritish empire is shrinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Ananya Panday\u2019s first period drama<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film also marks the first-ever period drama for Ananya Panday, who marked her debut in 2019 with Karan Johar<\/a>\u2019s Student of the Year 2. Ever since her debut, Ananya mostly played Gen Z roles in movies like Gehraiyaan, Dream Girl 2, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, and CTRL.<\/p>\n
