SWATANTRA VEER SAVARKAR: A balanced movie, with nice storytelling that depicts many events starting from the Sepoy Mutiny in 1947 to the Mahatma’s death in 1948. Half fact, half fiction with a speck of jingoism in the veil of nationalism, this movie would not impress history buffs but is a likeable watch due to a well-knit screenplay and the acting chops of Randeep Hooda despite its almost three hours long duration. The eponymous movie does not focus on Maratha valor but also points out that Nathuram Godse was also a Marathi manus. The movie does not let you blink thanks to the authentic performances of the ensemble cast and is good for a leisurely watch on a Sunday.
