Critical Reception and Audience Response
Although “Swatantra Veer Savarkar” has not resonated with audiences as much as other films in similar genres, such as “Article 370” and “The Kerala Story”, it has certainly carved a niche for itself.
The film’s success is an indication of the public’s interest in historical and biographical films, pointing to a diversified taste in cinema among viewers.
