‘The Kerala Story’, Sudipto Sen's most recent film, has finally opened in theatres to rave acclaim. The movie was in danger of disintegrating due to the numerous scandals that surrounded this Adah Sharma starrer, but moviegoers saved it admirably. Three young girls from various regions of Kerala have their actual stories collected in the book ‘The Kerala Story’. We will be set free by the truth. Thousands of innocent women have had their lives deliberately wrecked, radicalised, and converted. It is their account of events.
Well, the movie is going through a lot of controversies at the moment. However, let’s check out the reasons below why the movie is a must-watch.
The 'poisonous seed' of love jihad and ISIS activities, which are thriving within the nation, needs to be prevented from growing into a tree. This tale will raise awareness among our daughters, preventing them from joining plots like the "love jihad" and from succumbing to terrorist tactics.
One would expect that the authors of ‘The Kerala Story’ would have made an effort to give the fictional characters in the movie brains, if not agency, if they felt any obligation to the real women who served as their models. Shalini (Adah Sharma), Geetanjali (Siddhi Idnani), and Nimah (Yogita Bihani) are gullible to the point of being silly, on the other hand, at every turn. Particularly Shalini and Geetanjali seem to be there to be taken advantage of. They eat up all the nonsense that Asifa, their flatmate and an ISIS agent (Sonia Balani), feeds them.In a different reality, a movie about young women becoming radicalised would have also delved into Asifa's journey to become an ISIS agent.
The fact is that one can hope to see positive changes in society when any historical truth is presented in a truthful manner without any place for personal conditioning to emerge. ‘The Kerala Story’ does exactly this. It exposes the harsh reality for future generations in the hopes that people will realise that Muslim children are also misled and exploited in addition to Hindu girls.
‘The Kerala Story's’ chilling teaser was posted by director Vipul Amrutlal Shah in an effort to raise awareness of the sensitive topic of human trafficking that exists in God's own country. The film tells the heartbreaking tales of 32000 Hindu and Christian girls who were converted and smuggled from Kerala to the Islamic State.
