The Sabarmati Report: After PM Modi's Praise, BJP Leaders Watch 'Unmissable' Film On Godhra Tragedy

The Sabarmati Report: Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports and Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya, actor Vikrant Massey and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari attended a screening of The Sabarmati Report in New Delhi on Monday. Vikrant expressed his happiness after looking at the number of people who came to watch the film. Set in the aftermath of the Godhra train burning incident, the movie has so far collected over ₹8 crore in three days, since its release on November 15.

Vikrant calls The Sabarmati Report screening 'amazing'

In a conversation with ANI, the 12th Fail actor said, "The experience was amazing. The cinema hall was housefull. Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and BJP MP Manoj Tiwari attended the screening..."

The Sabarmati Report is based on the burning of S6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station (Gujarat) on February 27, 2002. At least 59 Hindu devotees returning from Ayodhya were burnt to death in the incident, which led to the riots in the state later. PM Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat at the time of the tragic event. Vikrant further shared, "There is a dialogue in the film, you cannot hide the truth, it comes out one day...It is a very important film. The unfortunate incident that happened is part of our history, we have never seen it in cinema or documentaries. PM Modi and the Union Home Minister Amit Shah have also praised the film."

Manoj Tiwari praised the film and said that it is important that everyone should watch this film as it documents an important incident. "Anyone who misses watching the film The Sabarmati Report will miss out on such events of the country which were hidden and which are very important for every citizen of the country to know about...The film will be a big hit and will also provide a lot of information," Tiwari shared.

PM Modi praises The Sabarmati Report

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Vikrant Massey starrer The Sabarmati Report, a movie based on the Godhra train-coach burning incident of 2002. He said it is good that the "truth" is coming out. The Prime Minister was replying to an X user who had praised the movie and tagged him with a video of the film's trailer. The movie was released on Friday. "Well said. It is good that this truth is coming out, and that too in a way common people can see it. A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time. Eventually, the facts will always come out!," PM Modi wrote on X.

Apart from Vikrant, the film also stars Ridhi Dogra and Raashii Khanna as journalists.
