The Sabarmati Report

The Sabarmati Report

Samar Kumar, an entertainment journalist for EBT News, is unexpectedly assigned to cover the aftermath of the Godhra train burning incident of 27 February 2002, alongside senior anchor Manika Rajpurohit. Initially treating the assignment with indifference, Samar becomes deeply affected after witnessing the tragic scene at the Godhra railway station, where 59 people, majorly Hindu pilgrims were burned alive aboard the Sabarmati Express. In the film's plot, the journalist Samar Kumar investigates the Godhra train burning incident and uncovers material that contradicts the depiction of the fire as accidental. The film depicts his attempts to publish his findings being blocked by his news organization. The narrative follows his departure from the organization thereafter. Later in the story, the character Amrita Gill seeks Samar's help in investigating the incident further. The film portrays their efforts to navigate institutional and public challenges as they continue their inquiry.
