The Sabarmati Report Movie Review :
This film is based on the 2002 Godhra incident in Gujarat. Samar Kumar (Vikrant Massey) works as a cameraman reporting in EBT News Channel. In the same channel, Manika (Ridhi Dogra) is also a very strict and sharp English news anchor who is followed by many people. The story begins on 27 February 2002 with the Sabarmati Express running from Ayodhya, which catches fire in two coaches at Godhra station in Gujarat.
To report this incident, Raman Talwar from EBT News Channel calls Manika and informs her to go with Samar Kumar. After this, Samar andManika leave. Samar Kumar was very excited to report with Manika because Manika was a very famous news anchor.
Both reach the Godhra (incident) spot in Gujarat and start reporting. During reporting, they ask people and inspect the spot thoroughly. Samar reports the incident. After thoroughly inspecting the place of the incident, both the journalists come to know that it is an accident.
Meanwhile, Manika gets a call from EBT news channel in which she is told that it is an accident. When Samar Kumar records the incident, Maneka blames the state government by calling it an accident, Samar gets suspicious of Maneka. Maneka tells Samar to send the tape of this recording to Delhi office quickly and leaves from there.
Samar gets suspicious and the next day he goes to the civil hospital to meet the families of the injured and the dead and asks them about the incident. It is revealed that it was not an accident but a fire was deliberately set by some miscreants and 59 people have died in this incident. Samar records these statements and leaves for Delhi. On the way he is also attacked.
On reaching the Delhi office, Samar hands over both the tapes to Mishra ji and says that in Maneka’s tape, this incident has been described as an unfortunate accident which is untrue. I have solid proof of this in this tape. Samar hands over both these tapes to Mishra ji. The next day he comes to know that he did not show the tapes while Maneka’s tape itself has been played.
Samar immediately reaches the office and argues with Maneka and the news director that this is not true at all, the truth of this incident is in my tape, but they refuse to do so. Samar asks for his tapes and proofs back, which are not given to him either. He is sent to jail in a false case. Samar is released from jail by his girlfriend.
After this, Samar gets stressed due to the loss of his job and girlfriend and starts living his life by drinking alcohol.
Five years pass after this. Amrita Gill (Rashi Khanna) looks for a job to become a news anchor and she gets a job as a news anchor in EBT News channel. In 2007, Gujarat’s Chief Minister takes oath once again. After this, Nanavati Committee’s investigation of Godhra incident is asked to be investigated once again.
EBT News investigates it again. This time Manika asks Amrita Gill to investigate the 2002 Godhra incident of Sabarmati Express and Amrita agrees. Amrita wants to become like Manika, she is her fan. Amrita starts the investigation and Mishra ji gives her that tape of Samar and tells her about Samar. After this, she meets Samar and re-investigates the Godhra incident and reaches many new aspects of this accident.
Samar and Amrita now tell the truth about this incident by reporting on a new news channel. After this, in the court, Samar tells the truth of the Godhra incident in front of the judge sahab. In 2017, the accused are sentenced.
The Sabarmati Report Movie Story Review
Director Dheeraj Sarna’s The Sabarmati Report movie failed to reach new research. This movie has shown less about the Godhra incident and more about the image of the news channel. But Dheeraj Sarna has got brilliant performances from the main actors Vikrant Massey, Ridhi Dogra and Raashi Khanna.
The story of the movie definitely leaves an impact on the audience with good acting. But the audience keeps waiting for new revelations from the beginning to the end. But nothing new has been told. This movie showed only what people already know. This story failed to bring out the truth.
