Randeep Hooda’s Swatantrya Veer Savarkar released in cinemas on March 22 and it has recorded a good opening. The film also stars Ankita Lokhande in a key role. It is based on the events that took place in freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s life. The film also marked Randeep Hooda’s directorial debut. According to a report in Sacknilk, the film has minted over Rs 2.25 crore on it’s second day.
The film clashed with Kunal Khemu’s Madgaon Express. The comedy film has managed to get the upper hand this weekend. It is reported that Madgaon Express has earned Rs 3 crores opening on Day 2.
Swatantrya Veer Savarkar has opened to mostly positive reviews. News18 gave the film a three-star rating and wrote, “Randeep Hooda has shouldered the film with ease. He proves that his performances in films like Sarabjit and Highway were not just flukes. Randeep gets under the skin and bones of the freedom fighter. You are spellbound with the conviction of his performance.”
“While Randeep was a treat for the eyes as an actor, he needs to polish his directorial skills. In an attempt to pack everything about the freedom fighter’s life, Randeep loses track in the second half of the film. As a result, several scenes were high on dialogues and performance but lacked depth,” the review added.
Besides Randeep Hooda, Swatantrya Veer Savarkar stars Ankita Lokhande, Amit Sial, Apinderdeep Singh, Mark Bennington, and others. Randeep revealed he underwent a massive transformation for the film. Last week, he shared a picture of himself in front of a mirror, looking extremely emasculated and thin. Hooda was shirtless in the same snap, as he stood with his phone in hands to capture the image. He wrote in the caption,”KAALA PAANI #SwatantryaVeerSavarkar #WhoKilledHisStory #VeerSavarkarOn22March #BTS #behindth escenes #VeerSavarkar #Savarkar.”
