The Sabarmati Report: Receives Tax-Free Status in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh

Zee Studios recently announced that The Sabarmati Report, a film based on the 2002 Godhra train burning incident, has been granted tax-free status in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. This recognition has been met with gratitude by the film's creators, with the studio sharing their thanks on social media for the support received from both the government and audiences. The film, which aims to shed light on one of the most controversial and tragic events in recent Indian history, has garnered attention not only for its bold subject matter but also for its ability to spark discussions around truth and justice.

 

The movie, directed by Dheeraj Sarna (who replaced Ranjan Chandel mid-production), features a talented cast including Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna, and Riddhi Dogra. The plot is centered around the 2002 Sabarmati Express tragedy, which set off widespread communal violence. The film delves into the complexities of the incident and its aftermath, making it a thought-provoking piece on the consequences of such a national calamity. Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Vikir Films Production, the movie was finally released theatrically on November 15, 2024, after facing several delays.

 

Though the film has received mixed reviews from critics, its tax-free status in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh underscores its cultural and social importance. The tax exemption will likely make it more accessible to a broader audience, allowing more people to engage with its challenging narrative. The decision to offer The Sabarmati Report tax-free status serves as an endorsement of the film's intent to explore a crucial chapter of Indian history, showcasing the role of cinema in fostering dialogue and reflection on sensitive subjects.
