The Kerala Story is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language film based on a real-life incident. The film was directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.[1] The plot follows the story of a group of women from Kerala who converted to Islam and joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The film has courted controversy for falsely claiming that thousands of women from Kerala were being converted to Islam and recruited into ISIS.[4][5] Critics have castigated it for promoting the "love jihad" conspiracy theory,[6] and the agenda of the Sangh Parivar.[7]

The film stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani. It was released on 5 May 2023.[8] Critical reception from reviewers has been poor.

Plot

The Kerala Story is a movie based on the forced conversion of 32,000 women in Kerala who are illegally transported to other countries to join extremist groups such as ISIS. The movie aims to raise awareness about this pressing issue and promote a much-needed conversation around it[9]

Cast

Production and release

The film was produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who is also the creative director of the film.[1] It was released in theatres on 5 May 2023.[11]

Premise and factual accuracy

The teaser, released on 3 November 2022,[12] featured Adah Sharma playing the character of Fathima Ba — a Hindu Malayali nurse — who had converted to Islam and joined the ISIS, before ending up in an Afghan jail.[13] She identifies to be one of the 32,000 girls, from the Hindu and Christian communities, who are missing from Kerala and have been recruited to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) after being converted to Islam. The claimed figures are widely inaccurate, being based on mistranslations, misquotes and extrapolations from misrepresentations of unrelated statistics.[4]

The Observer Research Foundation in a 2019 report notes that about 60 to 70 individuals had joined ISIS from Kerala between 2014 and 2018.[14] According to Indian government figures not more than a total of 100 – 200 Indians had joined the organization over the years, one of the smallest figures of any country with a substantial Muslim population. The US Department of State in its 2020 report on terrorism had documented that there were a total of 66 individuals from India who were affiliated with ISIS at that time.[4]

The events portrayed in the film seem to be inspired by four women from Kerala who converted to Islam and traveled with their husbands to Afghanistan to join ISIS between 2016 and 2018.[5] They were part of a 21-member group from Kerala to join ISIS in 2016, remain incarcerated in Afghanistan since surrendering in 2019.[15]

The makers of the film have claimed that the film is the true story of an instance of "love jihad" — a Hindutva conspiracy theory about non-Muslim women romanced and lured into marriage to convert them to Islam.[6][19]

Opposition

Both Indian National Congress and Communist Party of India (Marxist) — the only two parties to have governed the state since Independence — have objected to the release of the film for propagating communal misinformation. They have further alleged that the filmmakers are promoting the agenda of the Sangh Parivar of defaming Kerala and propagating the love jihad conspiracy theory.[13][20][21] Responding to the allegations, producer Shah has said that "nothing we say will be without evidence" and that Sen had conducted four years of research for the film.[22]

After a Tamil Nadu-based journalist filed a complaint with the Kerala chief minister, by stating that false propaganda is being done against Kerala and communal harmony is being destroyed, Kerala state police chief Anil Kant directed the Thiruvananthapuram City Police to register a case based on a report by hi-tech crime inquiry cell of Kerala Police.[23][24] However, based on legal counsel's advice, as of 15 November 2022, an FIR was not filed.[25] As of 9 November 2022, the film is subject to an investigation.[5]

On the day of the release of the film, the Kerala High Court refused to stay the release of the film. It said that the allegations in the film were about ISIS, and not a particular religion. Previously, the Supreme Court and the Madras High Court had also rejected similar applications.[26] The makers agreed to take down the teaser which created the controversial claim that 32,000 girls were recruited in ISIS.[27][26]

Reception

Critical reception

The Times of India rated film 3 out of 5 stars, praised acting of Adah Sharma and wrote "the film feels more like a tutorial of radicalization than entertainment for the audience. It also goes to extremes to make its point, and that could be quite unsettling for audiences" as criticism.[28] NDTV rated film 0.5 out of 5 stars and termed the film as a "lengthy WhatsApp forward in the guise of a movie which is far from reality'" they also criticised acting in the film and termed writing as "cringe".[29] The Indian Express rated the film 1 star out of 5 star and wrote "The film itself is nothing but a poorly-made, poorly-acted rant which is not interested in interrogating the social complexities of Kerala".[30]

Koimoi rated the film 1.5 star out of 5 star, praised Adah Sharma's acting while criticised Sen for its direction and wrote "Sudipto Sen definitely doesn’t understand the importance of nuances and poignancy in making this movie".[31] Subodh Mishra of Aaj Tak rated the film 1 out of 5 star and wrote "An agenda-pushing WhatsApp video turned into a film...a mess of a serious story"[32] The Hindu reviewed film and wrote "Adah Sharma’s performance marred by half-truths and an emotionally exploitative gaze" they also criticised Sen and wrote "Sudipto Sen’s treatment is guided more by local politics than cinematic sagacity".[33]

Box office

On its opening day, the film grossed ₹8.03 crore in India,[34] making it the fifth highest opener in India for 2023.[35]
