The Kerala story has landed in controversy as political parties demand its ban.
The film The Kerala Story, directed by Sudipto Sen, was caught up in controversy even before its release. The film’s trailer is criticized throughout the country. The All India Muslim League (IUML), along with the Marxist Communist Party, the All India Democratic Youth Federation and the Congress, demanded a ban on the screening of the film.
In November, the makers released the teaser for the film, prompting immediate reactions. The Kerala Story is about four women who converted from Hinduism to Islam and joined the terrorist organization ISIS.

On her way, she realizes her mistake and runs away. Today, she is in prison in Afghanistan. There are many girls in Afghan prisons. He added that when it comes to controversy, nothing will be presented without proper facts and figures. Whether people choose to accept them or not will be their choice. He further added that director Sudipto Sen did extensive research for four years before starting the film.
He also said that the film was based on a great tragedy and he wanted to tell the story to the audience. He said that as a filmmaker, he only thinks of stories that touch his heart and move him enough that he wants to tell people.
The Kerala story stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani and Siddhi Idnani. The film will be released in theaters on May 5. The film is directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.
