A gripping drama that is worthy to watch

This movie is a dramatized version of the Godhra Kand incident. The narration of the story is well-paced. It keeps you hooked till the end. It sticks to the central story without adding extra drama. The narration tries to be balanced without hurting any community.The performances of the lead cast are brilliant. I loved the performance of Vikrant Massey and Riddhi Dogra. They nailed their roles perfectly.A few of the things that I didn't like about this movie: 1. It attempts to play safe too much by adding certain devotional elements unrelated to the storyline, especially towards the end.2. A few scenes when the journalists start to investigate independently do not feel realistic.Overall it is a good movie with a gripping storyline and an exceptional performance.

On the other hand, Amit Bhatia from ABP News gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, praising its bold approach to the subject matter and the performances of the lead actors ¹.Overall, I would give the film 3 stars out of 5. While it tackles a sensitive and important topic, it falls short in terms of nuance and depth. However, the performances of the lead actors are commendable, and the film is worth watching for those interested in Indian history and politics.*Rating:* 3/5 stars*Positives:*_Bold approach to a sensitive topic__Commendable performances by the lead actors__Well-researched story_*Negatives:*_Lack of nuance and depth__Some scenes feel overly dramatic or sensationalized__Not all characters are well-developed_

Not a propaganda movie but needs improvement - A decent watch

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