    The Dheeraj Sarna directorial especially appealed to netizens who called it a “heartbreaking” retelling of the 2002 Godhra train tragedy on screen.

    The Sabarmati Report, headlined by Vikrant Massey, hit theaters today, November 15, 2024, as did the first reviews on social media platforms. A section of the audience took to their respective X handles (formerly known as Twitter) to share their first reactions after watching the drama thriller. The Dheeraj Sarna directorial especially appealed to netizens who called it a “heartbreaking” retelling of the 2002 Godhra train tragedy on screen. Some felt it was “an important film that demands attention and respect.” However, a few social media users found it “tedious”, except for Vikrant’s powerful performance.

    One X user wrote: “This isn’t just another movie, it’s an emotional punch in the gut. #TheSabarmatiReport exposes the lies and ugly tactics surrounding the Godhra tragedy. This is the kind of film you won’t forget. #TheSabarmatiReportReview. The second user of The snakes are still out there, breathing and living among us. Courageous of #VikrantMassey to take up this subject which was suppressed. #TheSabarmatiReport.

    The Sabarmati Report stars Vikrant as a journalist who strives to uncover hidden facts about the Godhra train tragedy. The film also stars Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra in key roles. Disappointed with the film, a netizen said, “The Sabarmati report does not do justice to the Godhra case – a missed opportunity. Why do filmmakers often dilute the harsh truth in favor of a so-called “neutral narrative”? The truth deserves courage, not compromise. Another added: “Instead of being a well-researched docudrama, it ends up being a propaganda film. He tries too hard, tries to be funny, gives a lecture on Hindi and patriotism, tries to appeal to the Hindu audience but ends up being a tedious watch.

    However, The Sabarmati Report received mostly positive reviews on Your love inspires us to continue creating meaningful cinema. » Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Vikir Films, the film aims to offer a new perspective on the tragedy that deeply affected countless lives.
