Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra’s Kesari is all set to hit the theatres on March 21, 2019 on the festive occasion of Holi. The story revolves around the bravest battle ever fought between 21 sikhs and 10,000 invaders. Kesari is directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Karan Johar.
Before Kesari hits the theatres, let us revisit the period dramas which have been released in the past. Take a look:
Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi

Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi hit the theatres this year in January and it was the directorial debut of Kangana Ranaut. Amidst all the controversies, the film saw the day of light and got positive response from the audiences. The film was about the battles of Rani Laxmibai and how she fought it. It did a fair business at the box office but failed to become a hit.
Padmaavat
Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial which starred Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor was a hit at the box office. The film was mounted on a grand canvas and it was quite a visual treat for the audiences. This film too faced a lot of controversies from the fringe groups but it did manage to release in the theatres. It also enjoyed an extended weekend (paid reviews).
Bajirao Mastani
Another gem from Sanjay Leela Bhansali! The hit trio of Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra collaborated for this one. Just like every SLB film, this too was high on grandeur and picturesque locations. Apart from the story, this Indian epic historical romance film also had great songs.
