Swantantrya Veer Savarkar Twitter review: Netizens hail Randeep’s performance, call it masterpeice

Friday is here, and it’s time when moviegoers will again head to the cinema. And, this week, we have two big releases, Randeep Hooda’s Swatantra Veer Savarkar and Madgaon Express . Both the movies have received decent reviews from critics and audiences alike.

However, in this article, we will discuss Randeep Hooda’s biographical drama and how critics and audiences have reacted to the movie after watching it first-day, first-show.

Marking the directorial debut of Randeep, the movie chronicles the life and times of freedom fighter Veer Savarkar.

What is Swatantra Veer Savarkar all about?

Helmed and co-written by Randeep, the movie tells the story of the revolutionary Veer Savarkar, his fight for the freedom of Indians from Britishers, his political ideology of Hindutva, and a lot more.

The movie tells the heroic story of Veer Savarkar, who has been seen as one of the most controversial political figures in Indian freedom history by a section of people because of his ‘divisive’ ideologies.

What do the critics have to say about the movie?

The movie has so far received mixed reactions from the critics, who have hailed Randeep’s directorial work, and his realistic performance as Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. They have also praised the film for how well the makers have presented the life and key events from the life of a political figure, from his rise to his time in the infamous Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands until he died in 1966. What didn’t settle much with the critics was the run time of the movie, which is 3 hours.

Apart from Randeep, the movie stars Ankita Lokhande as Yamunabai Savarkar, Amit Sial as Ganesh Damodar Savarkar, Rajesh Khera as Mahatma Gandhi, Lokesh Mittal as B. R. Ambedkar, Brajesh Jha as Subhash Chandra Bose, and Mrinal Dutt as Madan Laal Dhingra among others.
