“Swatantrya Veer Savarkar,” a 2024 Indian Hindi-language historical biographical film depicting the life of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, was directed, co-written, and co-produced by Randeep Hooda, who also portrays the titular role. Despite receiving immense appreciation, the film fails to meet expected outcomes, performing better in Maharashtra but lacking traction elsewhere.
As the movie hit theaters on March 22, 2024, its box office trajectory showcases a mixed bag. While Maharashtra contributes significantly to its earnings, other regions show lukewarm response. However, industry analysts anticipate a surge in business on Good Friday, a public holiday.
Here’s the week-wise breakdown of box office collections:
- Friday: ₹1.10 crore
- Saturday: ₹2.25 crore
- Sunday: ₹2.75 crore
- Monday (Holi): ₹2.15 crore
- Tuesday: ₹1.07 crore
- Wednesday: ₹1 crore
- Thursday: ₹1.05 crore
The total earnings for the film in its first-week sum up to ₹11.37 crore. Despite falling short of projected figures, the upward trend expected on Good Friday could potentially bolster its financial performance.
“Swatantrya Veer Savarkar” aims to shed light on the life and contributions of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, a figure of historical significance. While the film faces challenges in garnering nationwide traction, its portrayal of Savarkar’s story continues to resonate with audiences, particularly in Maharashtra.
