About The Kerala Story Movie
Even after several controversies, The Kerala Story was released on 5th May 2023. The movie is directed by Sudipto Sen and stars Adah Sharma in the lead role.
Since the teaser of The Kerala Story was released, the controversy began and the film was even courted for its claim that 32,000 women were abducted from Kerala to be converted into Islam.
Shalini Unnikrishnan, a woman who converted to Islam, and named Fatima Ba shares her harrowing experience of how her dream of becoming a nurse was shattered and how her life took a drastic turn when she was abducted from her home. She was coerced by religious extremists and was eventually radicalised into joining the ISIS group. Her involvement led her to be imprisoned in Afghanistan.
The story mainly focuses on the journey of Shalini but also showcases the horrifying experiences of three young girls who are her friends.
