How to save the data from the post request in django?

I was trying to implement a comment in a blog using a POST method. I want to save get the data by POST method of name, email, text and save it to the database. Also, the date field should get the date.now() and blog field should get the Blog or id of the Blog. The code looks like this -

models.py :


from django.db import models

class Blog......


class Comment(models.Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True, default=0)
    blog = models.ForiegnKey(Blog_tables, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    email = models.EmailField()
    Text = models.TextField()
    date = models.DateField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.Text

views.py

from .models import Blog, Comment
from django.shortcuts import render, get_object_or_404, redirect
from django.template import loader, RequestContext
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect



def blog_detail(request, blog_id):
    blog = get_object_or_404(Blog, pk=blog_id)
    return render(request, 'home/detail.html', {'blog': blog})

def post_comment(request, blog_id):
    # Here's a post code to be implemented. Please read the commented text

    # 'blog' field of models will get the id of the blog
    # 'name' field will get the POST method value of input name="name"
    # 'email' field will get the POST method value of input name="email"
    # 'text' field will get the POST method value of input name="text"
    # 'date' will get the current Date 
    # All the above data will be saved in the database

html template : blog_detail.html

<html>
  <body>
<!--...Blog Text Here...-->

<!-- Comment Section -->

        <form action="/blogs/{{blog_id}}/comment" method ="post">
            {% csrf_token %}
            <input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Enter Your Name"/>
            <input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Enter Your Email"/>
            <input type="text" name="comments" id="comments" placeholder="Comments here"/>


            <input type="submit" value="Post"/>
        </form>
  </body>
</html>

Please help me to get the value from the comment section in the layout and save it to the database

I have also tried this in views.py :

def post_comment(request, blog_id):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        data = request.POST.get("name", "email", "comment")
       # blog = get_object_or_404(Blog_tables, pk=blog_id)
        p = Blog_Comment_table(blog= data.name, comment_name=data.email, 
comment_email= data.email, comment_Text= data.comment, comment_data = 
timezone.now())
        p.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
    else:
        return render(request, '/blogs/' + blog_id + '/comment', {'error_message': 'Error'})

It should be something like this:

from django.utils import import timezone
from .forms import CommentForm

def post_comment(request, blog_id):
   if request.method == 'POST':
       form = CommentForm(request.POST)
       if form.is_valid():
           data = form.cleaned_data
           blog = get_object_or_404(Blog, id=blog_id)
           Comment.objects.create(
               blog = blog,
               name = data.name
               email = data.email
               text = data.text
               date = timezone.now()
           )
