On Friday, the controversial film "The Kerala Story," directed by Sudipto Sen, was released in theatres, despite facing criticism for its alleged factual errors. The movie stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idhani in leading roles and was embroiled in controversy even before its May 5th release date.

The film follows the experiences of four female characters - Shalini (played by Sharma), Nimah (played by Yogita Bihani), Asifa (played by Sonia Balani), and Geetanjali (played by Siddhi Idnani) - who become radicalized and ultimately join the ISIS terrorist organization.


The Kerala Story has become the 5th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023, despite facing criticism for its portrayal of the forced conversion of non-Muslim girls in Kerala. The film was accused of falsely claiming that 32,000 women had been radicalized and used in terrorist missions. Despite petitions calling for a stay on its release, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) deemed it appropriate for public viewing.
