The Sabarmati Report Teaser Review: Vikrant Massey Decodes The Ghostly Godhra Kaand Amidst Loud Jai Shri Ram BGM – Will It Skip The Propoganda Test?
The Sabarmati Report teaser offers hope that Vikrant Massey's film might skip The Kashmir Files route and present facts without any cheat code!
by Trisha Gaur · KoimoiVikrant Massey, after a heavenly performance in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s 12th Fail, is ready to take the plunge and delve into one of the most controversial, brutal, and unfortunate massacres in India’s history—the Godhra Kaand! His next film, The Sabarmati Report, unveils the ghosts of Godhra, and a powerful teaser already supports the strong backdrop of this film!
The teaser presents Vikrant along with Ridhi Dogra as two powerful journalists who witness the most brutal killings in the name of religion and make it a point to unveil and uncover the truth of whatever happened on The Sabarmati Express!
There comes a moment in every country’s belief system and political history that changes the course of the destiny of its country. While USA witnessed it with the tragic 9/11 incident, The Sabarmati Report calls the Godhra Kaand, the equivalent tragedy for India. While the teaser brings back all the horrific memories of 2002, it has a very very crucial responsibility!
Such films have a very thin line between turning into a scapegoat of propaganda and staying away from it. The teaser makes sure that it sits in the second category, but the course of the film would decide if it turns into The Kashmir Files or presents some hard-hitting facts without spreading the hatred that already sits on the fence in this country and can be instigated anytime with any possible event that involves the two communities that have always been at a warring end with no conclusion!
The good part is The Sabarmati Report teaser offers hope that the film might skip The Kashmir Files route and present facts, truth, and the heartbreaking reality without any more invested hatred or emotions!
In a profession that sets the narrative for either side and destroys narratives of either side, will Vikrant Massey, Raashi Khanna, and Riddhi Dogra lead this powerful investigative story promising to unveil the truth of Godhra to deliver an unbiased ‘The Sabarmati Report?’ without getting affected from the haunting and roaring chants of Jai Shri Ram in a powerful background music? Only time will tell.
The Sabarmati Report, directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Ektaa R Kapoor & Shobhaa Kapoor, arrives in theaters on November 15.
