On May 5, 'The Kerala Story,' a movie about conversion that has polarised political discourse in the nation and resulted in bans in some areas and tax-free status in others, was released. The Vipul Shah-produced film 'The Kerala Story' tells the story of Kerala women who were coerced into joining the Islamic State (IS) and being converted.
Meanwhile, some political parties and organisations have spoken out against ‘The Kerala Story’, calling it propaganda and demanding that it be banned. Mamata Banerjee, chief minister of West Bengal, has banned the film out of fear for public safety. The film's success at the box office comes despite its controversial reception.
Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and Sonia Balani play the main characters in 'The Kerala Story'.
