Kesari, which is based on 1897's Battle of Saragarhi, has been applauded by both critics and audience. The film narrates how 21 soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the British Indian Army put up a strong fight against 10,000 Afghan troops. Every year on 12th of September, the 4th Sikh Battalion of Indian Army commemorates the battle around as Saragarhi Day.
The Battle of Saragarhi is one of eight stories of collective bravery in the world that has been published by UNESCO.
