The Kerala Story is reported to revolve around an innocent Hindu woman from Kerala, who is brainwashed by Islamic friends and gets converted. She is later sent to the ISIS Terrorist Organisation. However, what shocked everyone was when it was revealed that the film is based on real-life incidents where around 32,000 women from Kerala are trapped under this hazardous scheme.
The Kerala Story, starring Adah Sharma and written and directed by Sudipto Sen, has remained in the limelight ever since its controversial trailer was unveiled by the makers. The movie is based on the forced conversion of non-Muslim girls in Kerala. It was accused of “falsely claiming” that 32,000 women got radicalised and were deployed in terror missions. While the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) found it suitable for public exhibition, a string of petitions demanding a stay on its release were filed.
Adah Sharma’s Film Becomes One Of The Biggest Openers Of 2023
The film was in the scanner ever since the trailer released. Following this, there has been a rise in resentment and protests stating that the film should be banned. However, the description of the film’s trailer altered from being the ‘story of 32,000 women’ to that of three women just recently. That sparked another round of debate.
The film saw the light of the day on May 5. The film has been receiving polarising responses. Early estimates of the film are here and it suggests that Adah Sharma’s film minted decent money on Day 1. As per a Sacnilk report, the film earned Rs 7.50 crore on its opening day. The actual figures are yet to arrive.
