The Sabarmati Report

If you want to know how media gaslights, distorts facts, indulges in vulture rhetoric filled journalism without caring for human lives, politico media nexus it is a must watch. Though few negatives, they are overwhelmingly overshadowed by lot many positives! It will make you feel how our opinions become superficial with what we see on the surface without ever scratching it further to make an informed opinion! Go, do watch and make it a hit! A story not be forgotten. Don't go with how media reviews like The Hindu, The Indian Express etc. You will understand their compulsions to bury this movie.

The storyline in The Sabarmati Report is phenomenal. The movie does a fantastic job of creating suspense while addressing a serious historical event. Vikrant Massey's character is inspiring, as he fearlessly dives into the unknown, seeking justice. Raashii Khanna's role adds an emotional layer that makes the story even more engaging. Each twist felt like a revelation, pulling me further into the narrative. The story resonates deeply, not only as a thriller but also as a reminder of how crucial it is to remember and understand our history. It's a remarkable film with a storyline that's both thrilling and deeply moving.

The movie picked up a good topic and messed it up.

It fails to answer any of the questions -

• Why was the train set on fire ?

• Background events that led to the incident. Motive.

• Who gained politically from the incident ?

• What the administration could have done to prevent the incident ?

• How the administration handled the after effects ? And why ?

• There is very brief mention about the after riots. Who was responsible for the riots ? Who gained from riots ?

Actors did a good job, but direction is bad.

There is no investigation done by protagonist at all. Things just happen in the movie without any effort.

The loud suspenseful music is used more than it is required.

I had initially decided to put this on the back burner due to the dismal performance of this movie at the box office and the truckload of negative reviews. However, since a friend of mine worked on this film, he suggested I give it a chance.

As the title suggests, this movie revolves around the catastrophic burning of the Sabarmati Express in Godhra, Gujarat, where 59 people were burned alive. It took nearly 15 years to establish that this was not an accident but a heinous crime fueled by hate.

The movie wastes no time in getting to the point, and the unfolding drama immediately piques your interest. However, after a while, it starts to feel a bit sluggish as the narrative becomes somewhat stagnant. That said, the story picks up pace once the investigation begins. The movie could have been more engaging by delving deeper into the emotional plight of the victims and highlighting the gruesomeness of the burning train. Additionally, the makers shy away from explicitly addressing how a particular religion's communal hatred played a role in this heinous crime.

Vikrant Massey shines throughout as a journalist and fits the role perfectly. Riddhi Dongra, as the senior journalist, is the true star of this film. She portrays a headstrong, ambitious woman with remarkable realism. Raashi Khanna appears in the latter half of the movie but makes her presence felt with a sincere performance.

While the film lacks suspense to make the ongoing investigation truly thrilling, the camaraderie between Vikrant and Raashi makes it a compelling watch. However, the graphics and art departments could have done a better job depicting the burned train.

This may not be a perfect movie, but it addresses one of the most significant chapters in Indian history that we must all be aware of. It's a decent watch, suitable for viewing with the family.

This movie is a dramatized version of the Godhra Kand incident. The narration of the story is well-paced. It keeps you hooked till the end. It sticks to the central story without adding extra drama. The narration tries to be balanced without hurting any community.

The performances of the lead cast are brilliant. I loved the performance of Vikrant Massey and Riddhi Dogra. They nailed their roles perfectly.

A few of the things that I didn't like about this movie: 1. It attempts to play safe too much by adding certain devotional elements unrelated to the storyline, especially towards the end.

2. A few scenes when the journalists start to investigate independently do not feel realistic.

Overall it is a good movie with a gripping storyline and an exceptional performance.
