The Sabarmati Report

“After jumping down the throat of those who speak for balance, the film tries hard at doing a balancing act. How's that for more irony? No nuance, just judgement.”

“Vikrant Massey has established a reputation for himself, where his presence promises good content and 'The Sabarmati Report' is no different.”

“Overall, The Sabarmati Report is a good watch, and Massey, along with Dogra and Khanna, deserves the credit for taking up this challenge. Vikrant Massey delivers a stellar performance and has pushed his boundaries with this film.”

“Not just discovering the truth behind The Sabarmati Report, it is always a pleasure to watch the flawless craft of Vikrant Massey on screen.”

“'The Sabarmati Report' not only pays tribute to the innocent lives lost during the riots but also remains interesting till the end as a film—a medium of entertainment. This film is a must-watch for those who are interested in Indian history and hence, rightly, deserves 3 stars.”

“...holds viewer attention through most of its runtime, but its slightly glossy treatment makes it feel less like a film based on true events and more like a typical commercial drama. While it succeeds in educating audiences about the lasting impact of this tragic incident, the cinematic embellishments somewhat dilute its authenticity.”

“The Sabarmati Report does, ultimately, seem a little too diplomatic and politically correct. It seems unwilling to go the extra mile in a frank and blunt way, which has good and bad sides. As a factual drama, just alright. As a thriller 'inspired by reality' as claimed in the disclaimers, ditto!”

“Overall, the film is an honest attempt at looking at the Godhra tragedy and what happened to the Sabarmati Express on the fateful day. However, it gets marred with several issues being put into it - including the entire vernacular vs English journalists angle, which goes grossly overboard, sometimes overshadowing the tragedy. The film anchors on just good performances, but it is not enough to save the severely faulty film.”

“...fails to impress due to its haphazard execution & loose ends in the script. At the box office, it will be flop show.”

“The Sabarmati Report is so flimsy in its execution, taking offence to it would be dignifying its existence. The Sabarmati Report's poorly crafted propaganda masquerading as a crusade for justice is nothing but a blatant embodiment of these very ideals.”
