Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised Vikrant Massey’s recently released film ‘The Sabarmati Report’, a movie based on the Godhra train-coach burning incident of 2002, for revealing the truth.

PM Modi was replying to an X user who had praised the movie and tagged him with a video of the film trailer.

PM Modi wrote: “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!”

Vikrant Massey shared his gratitude for PM's appreciation: “Respected Prime Minister, thank you very much for your positive words on #TheSabarmatiReport; they have greatly boosted our morale. Your appreciation of #TheSabarmatiReport proves that we are heading in the right direction. Thank you for this love and support! History has witnessed—whether it is a nation or an individual, they rise only after a fall. No matter how long the era of falsehood may last, it is always the truth that ultimately prevails.”

The Sabarmati Report was released on November 15. It delves into one of the most significant and tragic events in India’s recent history—the Godhra train burning infamous incident of 2002 that claimed 59 lives and sent shockwaves across the nation.

Directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, the film takes a fresh approach by exploring this event through the eyes of journalists determined to uncover the truth behind the headlines.

Vikrant Massey stars as an investigative journalist who confronts the established norms of reporting, driven by a deep sense of justice and influenced by Ridhi Dogra’s grounded portrayal of a fellow truth-seeker.

As the story unfolds, Vikrant’s character faces the challenges of navigating a tense and divided media landscape, exposing hidden truths that question official narratives and highlight the perils of ethical reporting. Raashii Khanna joins as a partner in this quest, bringing nuance to a story layered with complexity.

Set against the backdrop of ideological conflicts between Hindi-speaking, grassroots journalists and their English-speaking counterparts, The Sabarmati Report sheds light on the personal and professional stakes of investigative journalism.
