Adah Sharma starrer The Kerala Story witnessed a great response in its advance booking in the national chains by selling over 32,000 tickets in PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. Also, the film has secured the fifth-highest spot for a Hindi film in 2023 after Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, Ranbir Kapoor’s Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and Ajay Devgn’s Bholaa.
The Kerala Story was well-ahead of films like Akshay Kumar’s Selfiee, Kartik Aaryan’s Shehzada, and Arjun Kapoor’s Kuttey. It has been one of the trending topics on social media and among the public due to its controversial topic of conversion into Islam and terrorism.
Many seniors persons in high posts have commented on #TheKeralaStory after watching the 2 minute trailer .

Directed by Studipto Sen of The Last Monk fame, the film is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under his banner Sunshine Pictures. The Kerala Story also features Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, Vijay Krishna, Pranay Pachauri, Pranav Mishra, and Siddhi Idani in prominent roles.
Talking about the reviews, The Daily Guardian gave the film 3 stars. Sudipto Sen’s directorial is quite manipulative. Be a smart audience and ask questions about the content you are watching. Mark its relevancy and check whether it’s substantial. It’s an uncomfortable watch and not in any good way, so you can choose to stay in there.
In the second half of the film, the gorgeous Adah Sharma showcases she has got something in her for an actor but in a very wrong film.
Language: Hindi (With Subtitles)

Watch or Not? It depends on your ideology. The Kerala Story is not the film where you walk in with a neutral stance. Maybe a neutral mind but not stance; there’s a vast difference.
