'The Sabarmati Report' and details related to the film

'The Sabarmati Report' is based on the Godhra Riots of 2002, specifically focussing on the tragic Sabarmati Express incident that occurred on the morning of February 27, 2002. The film stars Vikrant Massey, Rashii Khanna, and Ridhi Dogra and was released in theatres on 15th November. The film made a collection of Rs. 1.69 crore,  the film also marked the highest first day earning for Vikrant Massey's films, surpassing the record set by '12th Fail'.

But overall the film received negative reviews, Priyanka Sharma for Mid-Day writes, "It’s a struggle to write about The Sabarmati Report because for much of the film, we were appalled, disgusted, and shocked at how casually the makers used bigotry to take the narrative forward. At the same time, they make the film wear the veil of truth-finding and nationalism. A film, however complex, can be reviewed, but propaganda masked as art? No thanks."
