The Sabarmati Report

Nice watch for knowing what is not told much about in recent past.

The work ethics of some media houses are shown adequately.

The movie wastes no time in getting to the point, and the unfolding drama immediately piques your interest.

But this movie should be given a pain of more research and proper technical & aesthetic treatment.

. 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.

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.

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.

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 storyline of The Sabarmati Report is a masterclass in suspense and storytelling. From the very beginning, the plot pulls you in, layering suspense with emotional depth. Vikrant Massey's journey through each twist and revelation feels incredibly real, and Raashii Khanna's character brings a much-needed emotional counterbalance. This movie doesn't just entertain; it challenges the audience to think about history, memory, and responsibility. It's a storyline that combines thriller elements with social commentary, making it one of the best cinematic experiences I've had in a long time. Highly Recommended.

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.
