“The Sabarmati Report” Review: Tribute to 59 Victims
The Sabarmati Report, directed by Dheeraj Sarna, tackles the sensitive 2002 Godhra train burning incident. The film, starring Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna, and Ridhi Dogra, follows Samar Kumar (Massey), a journalist who uncovers the truth behind the tragedy that killed 59 people on the Sabarmati Express. Based on the Nanavati-Mehta Commission, it claims a Muslim mob attacked and set the train on fire.
The plot explores Samar’s quest for truth, aided by Amrita (Khanna), while dealing with media pressures.
Performances
Vikrant Massey delivers a powerful performance, while Ridhi Dogra plays the strong boss, and Raashii Khanna brings depth to her role as a young journalist.
Direction
The film sometimes feels disjointed due to alternating between real footage and dramatized scenes. It raises questions about bias and narrative focus.
Final Thoughts
While it honors the victims, The Sabarmati Report struggles with unbiased storytelling and leaves room for audience interpretation.
