After CM objects to ‘The Kerala Story’ being screened in his state, director Sudipto Sen retorts with THIS statement | Hindi Movie News – Times of India

After the Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan objected to the Doordarshan decision to telecast the Kerala Story, Director Sudipto Sen said, “Since our childhood our parents and teachers taught us that… only wrong people are scared of truth. All their efforts are to prevent truth to reach people.”

He went one step further, and said the establishment has been hiding the truth.

He adds, “They have hidden the scary truth. Our film exposed the sinister global terror network active in India. So, some of them are angry with us – without watching the film, they are trying to discredit us.”
Sen said that film’s only aim was to expose the ISIS and other radical groups trying to harm our country. “We have nothing against any religion. Because, in ‘their’ language, terrorism has no religion,” added Sen.

On the other hand, the movie garnered positive reviews post its OTT release.
‘The Kerala Story’ made waves for its narrative despite being made on a modest budget of Rs 15-20 crore. The film’s global earnings surpassed Rs 300 crore throughout the country. In key roles, Adah Sharma‘s stellar performance, supported by Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, Siddhi Idnani, and Devadarshini, contributed to the film’s acclaim.

The storyline revolves around four young college girls who fall victim to brainwashing and coercion, leading them to join ISIS. The film’s portrayal of approximately 32,000 women from Kerala being converted to Islam and taken to Syria and Iraq sparked controversy and political discussions.
