Swatantrya Veer Savarkar Box Office Collection Day 5

The film industry witnessed an unsettling dip in the fortunes of ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’. Despite a strong opening, figures reveal a pronounced drop on the fifth day.

Randeep Hooda’s attempt to chronicle the life of the titular freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar saw earnings plummet to a modest Rs 1.10 crore nett in India on its fifth day, according to sacnilk.com.

Opening to an audience eager to experience significant historical periods on screen, ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’ started at Rs 1.05 crore earnings, including Rs 1.04 crore from Hindi and Rs 1 lakh from Marathi screenings.

Day two exhibited promise, climbing to Rs 2.25 crore. Days three and four, however, offered stability rather than growth, garnering Rs 2.7 crore and Rs 2.15 crore respectively, from Hindi audiences alone.

Current reports suggest that day five has not been kind to the production, with its earnings stepping down further, culminating to a total collection of Rs 9.32 crore nett in the domestic box office.

A Film Steeped in History

Directed by Hooda, who also plays Savarkar, alongside notable names like Ankita Lokhande and Amit Sial, the biopic had sparked curiosity well before its release.

Launched in tandem in Hindi and Marathi on March 22, the film represents the struggles and vigor of Savarkar, acknowledged widely in the annals of India’s fight for independence.

The joint venture by Zee Studios, Anand Pandit, Sandeep Singh, Hooda, and Yogesh Rahar aimed to shed light on a figure whose life played out in the theatre of national fervor.

Randeep Hooda on Shaping the Narrative

Hooda, in a heartfelt interaction with ANI, shared insights on his directorial debut, aiming to clarify misconceptions and highlight Savarkar’s time span from 1897 to 1950.

He said, “When this movie came to me, I realised that I don’t look like him, and thus, I lost weight for this film.” This personal investment translated not only through directorship but also through a physical transformation to better embody the historical character.

Industry Insight

Box office analysts note a pattern where biographical films often see an initial surge but sustainment depends on word-of-mouth and critical acclaim. With ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’, the initial number showed potential; however, maintaining momentum is essential.

While critics pointed out the film’s extensive historical exposition and its measured pace, they also called attention to the earnest portrayal by Hooda and the cast.
