Helmed by Anurag Singh, Kesari has received positive reviews from the audience as well as critics.

The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film three stars.

A section of her review read, “What works for the film is its unapologetic embrace of loudness and lack of nuance: rousing speeches of patriotism keep breaking into the bloody action on the battlefield. Akshay gets the maximum, naturally; but the other soldiers do too. Some work has gone into outlining the other men, one of whom is clearly ‘lower caste’, who gets a teeka of equality, another who hasn’t had time for his suhagraat, and yet another who has just become a father.”
