Aayaan

Aayaan steps into the spotlight with The Sabarmati Report (2024), a film that doesn’t just nudge at your curiosity—it practically yanks it by the collar. Set against the backdrop of one of India’s most controversial and emotionally charged moments, this movie dives straight into the chaos and aftermath of the Sabarmati Express incident. The story moves fast, with tension that just won’t quit, following journalists, politicians, and ordinary people whose lives get tangled up in the fallout. There’s no sugarcoating here; everything feels raw, almost like you’re eavesdropping on real conversations, not scripted lines. Aayaan’s performance brings a punch of realism. He’s not just playing a role—he looks like he’s actually lived through the trauma, doubt, and occasional glimmers of hope that his character faces. The film doesn’t bother with black-and-white answers. Instead, it forces you to wade through gray areas, questioning what’s true and what’s just noise. The cinematography isn’t flashy, but it’s haunting—lots of shadows, flickers of firelight, frantic camera work that mirrors the panic and confusion of the time. Supporting characters aren’t just filler, either. Each one feels fleshed out, with their own motives, secrets, and scars. The dialogue? Sharp, a little gritty, and at times, uncomfortably honest. You walk away from The Sabarmati Report with more questions than answers, but honestly, that’s kind of the point. The film lingers, sticking with you long after the credits roll.
