The Sabarmati Report, a socially-driven drama, has earned ₹11 crore at the box office in its first six days. While the film’s collections have been modest, it has received critical acclaim for its impactful storytelling and has been declared tax-free in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Haryana, boosting its reach and accessibility.
Despite a slow start at the box office, The Sabarmati Report has managed to carve a niche among audiences appreciative of meaningful cinema. The tax-free status granted by multiple state governments reflects the film’s relevance and its potential to spark important conversations about social justice and accountability.
By making the film tax-free, state governments aim to encourage more people to watch it, especially those from rural and semi-urban areas. The move highlights the importance of cinema as a tool for social awareness.
Audiences have praised the film for its hard-hitting narrative and performances, though its overall box office performance remains subdued compared to commercial releases.
