The film revolves around Veer Savarkar’s life and his contributions to India’s struggle for independence.

They are joined by Apinderdeep Singh, Mark Bennington, Richard Bhakti Klein, Russell Geoffrey Banks, David Michael Harrison, Ed Robinson, and Hella Stichlmair.
Since its release, the film has faced criticism for presenting a one-sided narrative and defining events that lack evidence. Additionally, the depiction of Savarkar’s ideology, clashing with Gandhi’s ideology, sparked accusations of propagandism. Besides the criticism, the film is well-praised for its sparking dialogues and Randeep’s remarkable performance. Interestingly, Hooda underwent a 30 kg weight loss to portray Savarkar’s character authentically during his imprisonment.
