The Kerala Story is surely doing impressive business at the box office. The film also created quite a stir across the nation, garnering mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. The film has also been mired in numerous controversies, so much so that the film was pulled down from theatres in Tamil Nadu. Even CM Mamata Banerjee declared a ban on the film in West Bengal.
The film has been facing backlash from a section of political parties and groups who have claimed that the film is not based on facts, and propagates hatred against the Muslim community.
The Kerala Story talks about the stories of Hindu women from Kerala who were converted to Islam and trafficked to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The film has Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s support.
Apart from Adah Sharma, the Kerala Story also stars Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani in the lead roles. Recently, Adah Sharma also took to her Twitter account and gave a befitting reply to those calling The Kerala Story a ‘propaganda’ movie. She called her movie ‘real’ and urged everyone to Google ‘ISIS’ and ‘Brides’ to know the truth.
