Swatantrya Veer Savarkar 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.

Recently, Randeep Hooda revealed that he lost nearly 32 kgs for the film. “Being starving and underweight as an actor is a luxury, being starving and underweight as a director is a curse. Because you lose patience, you don’t have patience and you’re hungry. People are having lunch breaks, evening nashta breaks, that break and you’re just a person sitting there hungry. When you’re hungry you have more energy. So that was a very big thing which I think everybody suffered from me as a hangry person on set… I had lost about 30 to 32 kilos by the end of it,” he told Pinkvilla.
