Swatantrya Veer Savarkar

"Swatantrya Veer Savarkar" completely floored me. It's a powerful cinematic journey that doesn't shy away from the complexities of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, a controversial yet undeniable force in India's fight for independence. Randeep Hooda's performance is nothing short of a revelation. He inhabits Savarkar's skin - the steely resolve in his eyes, the unwavering defiance in his voice - making you feel the weight of his struggles and convictions.

As a history buff, I was particularly impressed by how the film weaves a rich tapestry. It seamlessly blends the grand narrative of India's independence movement with the intimate details of Savarkar's personal odyssey. The screenplay is robust and meticulously crafted, offering depth without sacrificing clarity. The dialogues are equally impactful, leaving a lasting impression and often igniting spontaneous applause in the theater.

But what truly elevates "Swatantrya Veer Savarkar" is its technical mastery. The cinematography is breathtaking, creating a visually immersive experience that transports you right into the heart of the freedom struggle. You feel the suffocating dampness of Savarkar's cell in Kaala Paani, the electrifying energy of revolutionaries plotting their next move, and the simmering tension of confrontations with the iron fist of the British Raj.

One of the most thought-provoking aspects of the film is the dynamic between Savarkar and Gandhi. Their contrasting ideologies are brought to life through a series of powerful, nuanced exchanges. These conversations highlight the fascinating complexities of India's fight for independence, where different leaders advocated for different paths to freedom. The film doesn't shy away from portraying the friction between their approaches, sparking contemplation about the multifaceted nature of a nation's struggle for self-rule.

It's worth noting that the film isn't without its flaws. The pacing could be tightened in certain stretches, particularly during the first part of the second half where Savarkar is incarcerated. A minor edit of 15-20 minutes could enhance the overall flow without compromising the depth of the story.

Despite this minor drawback, "Swatantrya Veer Savarkar" stands out as a remarkable achievement in historical cinema. It's a testament to the passion and commitment of the filmmakers. The film offers a profound and engaging experience that is both educational and entertaining. It left me contemplating the complexities of India's freedom struggle, the legacy of its key figures, and the enduring significance of their fight for self-determination.

I love the way they made this movie and they spreading awareness about the un-told reality. Zee Studios dared to make this movie and I bet this will be a blockbuster movie all over the world. I saw the trailer of the movie and it was like next level. Even after 77 years of independence, we finally see the other side (true) of history. In the trailer, acting has done incredibly, no joke but you will actually get goosebumps after watching the trailer. We need more movies like this instead of movies like "Animal". The last line in the trailer "Congress ke kisi member ko kala paani ki saza kyu nhi hoyi?" was next level. Can't wait for the movie to release. Once again Zee Studios and Randeep Hooda is the real chad to make such a movie Hats off!! 🗿🗿

Kudos to the makers of the film! Salute to his courage to go against the system!! Bravo !!!

A non Marathi person has shown his passion and dedication towards the content and story line! He has put in a lot of efforts to create the best and true side of the character!

Swatantryaveer Savarkar, not unsung hero but for sure, most criticised freedom fighter of our country! It's really unfortunate!

Not only veer savarkar but his whole family was devoted to the freedom movement which very few of us know! And the makers have shown the real story of his life! Hudda has put in lot of efforts in putting his life in the movie span !

But at least,the generations will be well aware with our folded freedom stories, for sure !!!

Thanks !!!

1857 revolution. One book. One man's belief and determination to bring that revolution in the hearts and minds of every Indian of his time. This is the best biopic that has come out of the Indian film industry. It's accuracy, facts and story telling will keep you hooked for the entire duration of the movie.

Randeep hooda has given the best performance of his career till now and has fully immersed himself into the life of Veer Savarkar. As the movie progresses, you will see the successes and the pitfalls of Veer Savarkar's life and how he was deeply connected to various important figures fighting for independence of India. This movie also unmasks some historical facts that people have been forced to believe for a long time. Watch this movie to learn what you have to unlearn about the fight for India's Independence and why it has been always labelled as a struggle.

You guys throw the word propaganda around way too much it's irritating. Shut up PLEASE.

We've always read one perspective of gandhi and the freedom movement in our textbooks; the positive one. The one that praises the hell out of gandhi and nehru. BUT the actual situations back then and the many people who all took part in freeing the motherland are topics that are undoubtedly more nuanced than the digestible small paragraphs we grew up memorizing. This movie showcases a man whose name hasn't been popularised in history even though he contributed to our freedom. That is NOT propaganda.

I don't understand people saying savarkar as a man and his complexity weren't captured when the entire film revolves around him honestly talking about his unshakeable belief in violence and training the youth to achieve an armed revolution. It even showed the people that followed his society and killed many of the british officers were very young men whose lives were cut short and his statements that all citizens of hind are hindus even if they're of different religions which is a very problematic statement. He was a troubled man with many problems who, throughout his life, struggled for freedom and the movie portrayed him exactly as such 🤷‍♀️. In my belief, the movie was very honest about the kind of thinking savarkar had and didn't sugarcoat it at all.

The cinematography and camerawork were very interesting. Some scenes did feel out of place but overall it was good. Nothing insanely amazing though.

Randeep hooda's acting was noteworthy. His direction could be improved, but for a debut film, it IS good.

Valid criticisms of this movie (in my opinion) is that it's flow wasn't as cohesive as it should've been and it was a little too long to keep the audience hooked in fully. It captured savarkar's ideologies and passion and did have beautiful dialogues meant to evoke feelings of patriotism in the audience, but this was not consistent. The movie would've been better if the writing didn't seem all over the place.

Other than these things. It is a well made movie.
