The Sabarmati Report is a crime film based on the Godhra incident of 2002. In this film, an attempt is made to reveal the truth about the fire that took place in the S6 bogie of the Sabarmati Express on February 27, 2002 and the 59 kar sevaks who were killed there. The story of the film revolves around a Hindi journalist named Samar Kumar (Vikrant Massey), who struggles to uncover the real truth behind this incident. Riddhi Dogra and Raashi Khanna also play important roles in the film.
What is the story of the film? “The Sabarmati Report” stars Samar Kumar (Vikrant Massey), a Hindi journalist who covers the film’s beat. She has always been looked down upon by the film industry and English-speaking journalists. Manika (Riddhi Dogra), on the other hand, is a sharp-tongued English news anchor with influence in the media.
In Godhra, on February 27, 2002, 59 kar sevaks died when the S6 bogie of the Sabarmati Express caught fire. Manika goes to Godhra to cover the incident and takes Samar as a cameraman. Samar considers this a “golden chance” for her career, but when Manika, at the request of her boss, turns the tables on the entire incident and presents a false report to the public, Samar is shocked. He prepares his report to reveal the truth, but is not only fired by the boss of the channel, but also sent to prison for camera theft.
Samar’s life becomes full of difficulties: unemployed, addicted to alcohol and estranged from society. Meanwhile, the fear of revealing fake news after the Nanavati Commission report is haunting the channel officials and Manika. Manika sends her channel’s new reporter Amrita (Raashi Khanna) to Godhra, so that she can consolidate her report and put the blame on the state government.
Amrita receives the video of Samar’s report and convinces him to take it with her to Godhra. So together they find out the truth about the Godhra incident and present to the world the tragedy that happened to these 59 innocent people.
How is the star casting game going? Vikrant Massey did a great job as Samar Kumar. Judging from his dialogues and his emotional depth, it seems that he devotes himself entirely to this role. His struggle to find out the truth about the Godhra incident is felt on screen. Riddhi Dogra also gave an effective performance in her character Manika, and her role has dark and negative undertones. Raashi Khanna played the character of Amrita well, although her role seemed a bit incomplete in some scenes.
How is the management? Dheeraj Sarna has directed the film and focuses on a sensitive issue. However, there are some flaws in the storyline and plot of the first part of the film. Some light comedy scenes were inserted for no reason, which doesn’t fit the serious issue. The second half of the film ups the thrill a bit, but the climax seems a bit weak. As the purpose of this film was to show the truth about the murder of 59 innocent people, the audience ultimately does not get any new information that has already been seen in the media and newspapers.
How is the music in the film? The music of the film is simple and only the song ‘Raja Ram’ sounds impressive. The rest of the music doesn’t attract much attention.
Final verdict, to watch or not? ‘The Sabarmati Report’ can be watched by viewers who want to get information about the Godhra incident in a cinematic style. However, the film fails to completely do its subject justice. There are some flaws in its story and presentation, but the brilliant performances by Vikrant Massey and Riddhi Dogra are worth watching.
