The Sabarmati Report Movie Review

The Sabarmati Report, directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Ektaa R. Kapoor, tackles the 2002 Godhra train burning tragedy. Starring Vikrant Massey, Ridhi Dogra, and Raashii Khanna, the film portrays the attack that killed 59 people, primarily from the Hindu community, and explores the media's role in covering up the truth.

Plot

The film follows journalist Samar Kumar (Vikrant Massey), who investigates the Sabarmati Express fire, believed to have been caused by a Muslim mob. As Samar seeks to expose the truth, he faces resistance from a media house attempting to suppress the story, with the help of journalist Amrita (Raashii Khanna).

Performances

Vikrant Massey delivers a strong performance as the emotionally tormented Samar, while Ridhi Dogra and Raashii Khanna bring depth to their roles as powerful, confident characters.

Direction And Writing

While the performances are solid, the film's direction feels disjointed at times. The narrative struggles to balance objectivity, with some viewers feeling it pushes a particular narrative too aggressively.

Conclusion

The Sabarmati Report honors the victims of the Godhra incident, but its uneven pacing and questionable narrative choices may leave audiences divided.
