**Mumbai, India -** “The Sabarmati Report,” a highly anticipated film starring Vikrant Massey, was released today, November 15th, garnering positive reviews despite a slow start at the box office. The film, directed by Dhiraj Sarna, delves into the tragic events of the 2002 Godhra train fire, which led to widespread communal violence in Gujarat.
The film’s trailer, released earlier, sparked controversy and even resulted in threats to Massey and his family, including his nine-month-old son. Despite this, the film has received praise for its depiction of the events leading to the Godhra tragedy and its impact on the community.
Initial reviews highlight the engaging first part of the film, with some noting a slightly slower pace in the second. The film’s portrayal of the train fire itself is lauded for its power and accuracy.
“The Sabarmati Report,” which received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) without any cuts, also features actors Rashee Khanna and Riddhi Dogra.
While the film’s opening day box office collection of ₹9 lakhs (approximately $10,000) might be deemed low, audiences seem to be appreciating its attempt to shine a light on a sensitive and impactful event in India’s history.
