After registering a slow start at the box office, Randeep Hooda’s Swatantra Veer Savarkar has now witnessed some growth, albeit slow. The movie has made around Rs 2 crore in India in three days, totaling nearly Rs 8.25 crore nett overall. Swatantrya Veer Savarkar was released in Hindi and Marathi last Friday.
According to Sacnilk.com, the film earned Rs 1.05 crore on its first day and Rs 2.25 crore on Saturday. On its third day, that is Sunday, it minted Rs 2.7 crore nett in India in Hindi, and on day 4, it garnered Rs 2.25 crore, as per early estimates. The Hindi version of the film had an overall 29.61 percent occupancy on Monday.
Released on March 22, Swatantra Veer Savarkar stars Randeep Hooda, Ankita Lokhande, Amit Sial, Apinderdeep Singh and Mark Bennington among others. The film is based on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and his contribution during the Indian Independence struggle. The film opened to mostly positive reviews. News18 Showsha 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.
Randeep Hooda told ANI recently, “This movie is based on his (Veer Savarkar) life, it is a story between 1897 and 1950. I have fearlessly handled all the misinformation regarding him. When this movie, came to me I realised that I don’t look like him and thus I lost weight for this film.”
