After its release on Friday, March 22, 2024, netizens quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their views. The film’s release clashed with Kunal Kemmu’s directorial debut comedy, Madgaon Express, which received mixed reviews from viewers.
Swatantrya Veer Savarkar received praise for its dedicated portrayal of the titular figure. Hooda’s performance as the patriot was highly appreciated. One user wrote, “It was great to watch ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ last night in #Pune. Thank you @RandeepHooda for your terrific efforts on this film – and in bringing ‘Savarkar to life’ in front of the audience.”
Another fan hailed the movie for being technically sound. They wrote, “A technically well-made film #VeerSavarkar. The politics were well explained & the intensity of those kala pani jail scenes was unbearable. The film makes you realize that maybe there was one more option. The BGM & editing deserves all the appreciation. Excellent Work!”
Ankita Lokhande, who portrays the role of Yamuna Bai, was also praised for her performance. A user wrote, “Ankita Lokhande’s stellar performance in Swatantra Veer Savarkar is a testament to her talent and commitment as an actress.”
Recently, Randeep Hooda stunned fans with a post of his shocking physical transformation on social media for the film. The actor had undergone significant weight loss, as shown in the photos, to enact the role of Savarkar in this historical biopic.
