Swatantra Veer Savarkar movie review
The ABP Live review of the film read, "Swatantrya Veer Savarkar begins by tracing Savarkar's childhood, his family, and the influence of his elder brother Ganesh, which initially seems promising but soon shifts focus solely onto Savarkar. Shot in a dark setting, the film's atmosphere might unsettle viewers, adding a certain intensity to the narrative. However, the absence of names or contexts for many characters might confuse those not well-versed with history, leaving them wondering about their significance. Clocking in at three hours, the film includes several unnecessarily prolonged scenes, such as Savarkar's petition to the British government from prison. The depiction of torture endured by inmates in jail is chilling, evoking a sense of discomfort."
