Released on March 22, 'Swatantrya Veer Savarka' had a slow start at the box office, grossing 1.10 crores in India and an impressive 1.60 crores worldwide.

About Swatantrya Veer Savarkar
Directed, co-written, and co-produced by Randeep Hooda, 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar' also features Ankita Lokhande in a significant role. The film includes performances by Amit Sial as Ganesh Damodar Savarkar, Rajesh Khera as Mahatma Gandhi, Lokesh Mittal as B. R. Ambedkar, and Brajesh Jha as Subhash Chandra Bose. Reviews for the film have been mixed, with some praising Hooda's contributions while others expressing disappointment.
The film's portrayal of historical events and freedom fighters has sparked debates among viewers. Whether it warrants a viewing or not depends on individual preferences and expectations regarding historical biographical dramas. Previously, Randeep had posted images of his visit to a cell in Kalapani, where Savarkar had been incarcerated. He disclosed attempting to lock himself inside the cell during the reconnaissance to experience what he must have endured. Nonetheless, he conceded his inability to remain locked for even 20 minutes, whereas Savarkar endured 11 years of imprisonment.
