Star Cast: Randeep Hooda, Ankita Lokhande, Amit Sial, Anjali Hoodfa, Jay Nano Patel, Rajesh Khera, Santosh Ojha, Russell Geoffrey Banks

Director: Randeep Hooda

What’s Good: Lesser-known facts about a man, many of them shocking, who wanted Independence from the British and an inclusive India

What’s Bad: Too many chapters of Savarkar’s illustrious life crammed in a too-lengthy narration that fails to engross and rouse the viewer

Loo Break: Off and on especially in the overlong ‘Kala Pani’ phase

Watch or Not?: Your choice, but be prepared for boredom at many junctures

Language: Hindi

Available On: Theatrical release

Runtime: 178 Minutes
