The film Sabarmati Report has received mixed reactions on social media. Some have lauded the premise of the film, while some have criticised the film.
Let's take a look at what netizens have to say about the film
A user wrote, "This film left me shaken. It's unapologetically honest, revealing the manipulations and cover-ups of the Godhra incident. Vikrant Massey is brilliant—his portrayal of a journalist caught in a web of lies is unforgettable. It's a tough watch but an essential one. You won't leave the theatre the same."
Another user mentioned, "Bringing the truth to light isn't easy. #TheSabarmatiReport does it with grace, honesty, and conviction."
The third one said, "I just finished watching #TheSabarmatiReport, and I'm speechless. Honestly, If you think you know everything about Godhra Kand, think again! It's a powerful reminder that the truth is different from what we have been shown, told and fed."
The fourth one said, "Gripping first half. Slightly slower second half. Refreshing and fast-paced storytelling. The way the media tried to cover up the 2002 Godhra train burning, is obviously the central theme. How political agendas made victims suffer, is shown superbly."
The fifth one mentioned, "Godhra: A train compartment was set on fire, doors were locked so that nobody could go out, 59 Hindus including 20 children were burnt alive and hardly anyone talks about it, people talk about the 2002 riots but forget the root cause of it. I don't care who made the movie, or who's acting in it... I'm just glad that finally #TheSabarmatiReport has been made... The truth must come out, this generation deserves to know about it. I hope they show things as it is..."
