The Kerala Story is an Indian Hindi-language film directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.[1] The plot follows the story of a group of women from Kerala who converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The film has courted controversy for falsely claiming that thousands of women from Kerala were being converted to Islam and recruited into ISIS.[4][5] Political parties in Kerala allege it promotes the Sangh Parivar's agenda.[6]

The plot follows the story of a group of women from Kerala who converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The film has courted controversy for falsely claiming that thousands of women from Kerala were being converted to Islam and recruited into ISIS.

The Kerala Story is not for all sections. The way the religion of Islam is showcased will not go well with Muslims for sure. On the other hand, the makers say that the film is inspired by true events when close to 32,000 Non-Muslim Indian girls from Kerala who were brainwashed, converted, impregnated, sent to terror camps, raped, and ended up as sex slaves in ISIS camps in Syria and Afghanistan.

The Kerala story shows a lot of violence. The rape culture, chopping of hands, beheading and trauma caused to innocent women is shown in a brutal manner. The locations are real and the incidents showcased and the way young women are trapped and made to convert into Islam will shock you for sure. Though there are no scenes that depict Islam in a bad light, the film is a direct take on what happens behind closed doors and how innocent women in Kerala are being converted into Islam.

The scenes that showcase the way these girls are brainwashed have been written quite well. Upon this, the sincere performances also hold the attention. The Kerala Story has been made in an uncompromising manner and there are some scenes that will surely move you. One of the biggest assets of the film is the emotions which are on point.

In The Kerala Story, there is no time to relax as the film has serious issues told in a brutal manner. The Kashmir Files was one film which had its own storytelling and agenda and the same happens with The Kerala Story as well. Some will like it immensely and the others will have reservations watching it. But in reality, the film is a hard hitting drama told in a brutal manner.

Performances

The Kerala Story has fab performances. All these days, Adah Sharma is known as this glamor doll but she stuns everyone with her performance. The way she plays a Kerala girl, her diction, and the emotions she shows is superb. Sidhhi Idnani is also amazing in her role and emotes well. Sonaia Balani, who plays the ISIS agent was so good in her role which gave her a lot of scope to perform. Yogita Bihani was also neat in her given role. The supporting cast of Vijay Krishna, Pranav Mishra, and Pranay Pachauri did their roles convincingly.
