The Sabarmati Report, starring Vikrant Massey, has become a focal point of national discourse. Directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Ekta Kapoor, the film delves into the events surrounding the Godhra incident. Released on November 15, the film has been making waves in theatres and political circles alike.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who previously praised the film for its bold storytelling, is set to watch it on Monday at 7 PM in the Balayogi Auditorium of the Parliament building. He will be joined by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and other dignitaries.
PM Modi’s Endorsement of the Film
Prime Minister Modi had earlier expressed his admiration for The Sabarmati Report, emphasizing the importance of truth in public discourse. In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:
“It is heartening that the truth is being presented in a way that the common people can access and understand. A fake narrative can only sustain for a short period; eventually, facts emerge.”
The PM also encouraged citizens to watch the film, following which the BJP leadership instructed its MPs and MLAs to arrange screenings in their constituencies to ensure wider reach.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also commended the filmmakers for their courage in bringing untold truths to light. He remarked:
“I met the team of The Sabarmati Report and congratulated them for their bravery in exposing falsehoods and presenting the suppressed truths. This film unmasks deceptive narratives that were perpetuated for political gain.”
Tax-Free Status in Madhya Pradesh
In a move to encourage viewership, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav declared the film tax-free in the state. This decision underscores the cultural and historical importance of the film’s narrative and aims to make it accessible to a larger audience.
