The narrative of The Sabarmati Report, starring Vikrant Massey, draws upon the tragic Godhra train burning incident of February 27, 2002, where 59 individuals, including women and children, lost their lives. Massey plays a Hindi journalist determined to challenge systemic injustices through honest reporting.

On November 17, PM Modi lauded the movie for its portrayal of truth, emphasizing that false narratives cannot withstand the test of time.

Accompanied by Cabinet ministers such as Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, PM Modi attended a special screening of the film at the Balyogi Auditorium in the Parliament Complex Library. Sharing his thoughts, the Prime Minister tweeted, “Joined fellow NDA MPs at a screening of The Sabarmati Report. I commend the makers of the film for their effort.” At the event, PM Modi was seated alongside Amit Shah, underscoring the significance of the occasion.

The screening witnessed the presence of several NDA MPs and Union Ministers, including Rajnath Singh, Kiren Rijiju, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and Ashwini Vaishnaw. Members of the film’s cast and crew, such as Vikrant Massey, Ridhi Dogra, director Dheeraj Sarna, and veteran actor Jitendra, father of producer Ektaa Kapoor, also attended the event.
