Manoj Joshi plays Ravindra Pandya, the investigator who is assigned the task of scrutinizing the incident and uncovering the truth. Manoj Joshi brings depth and life to the character of Ravindra Pandya and makes it more compelling.
It is worth mentioning the brilliant performance delivered by actress Denisha Ghumra who played the role of a young woman whose life changed abruptly after the Godhra train accident.
