Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express When a film shines a light on different aspects of an issue, it creates space for reflection and conversation, and you come away with food for thought. What about a film which does exactly the opposite? Rated: 1/5 May 5, 2023 Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in It’s fitting that a film about the dangers of religious indoctrination devotes every one of its scenes to brainwashing its audience. Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Vinamra Mathur Firstpost Director Sudipto Sen and creative director Vipul Amrutlal Shah pick up a bone-chilling subject but The Kerala Story isn't able to chew the meat of its narrative or rise above ordinary. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix This timeline-jumping, messy melodrama wants to depict how women become human trafficking victims of terrorists. However, the film does it in an irresponsible and deceptive way. The Kerala Story goes overboard in excusing certain people of certain crimes. May 23, 2023 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV A film so bad that its incompetence would have provided some entertainment had it not played so loose and fast with facts. Rated: 0.5/5 May 5, 2023 Full Review Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India This thought-provoking film is disturbing and surely manages to leave an impact. Rated: 3/5 May 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Bahjat Q Basically this movie shown a false narrative of jihad and it's an islamophobic movie ...in islam women can't go to jihad but in this tacky movie they can .... it's just a mess of filthiness Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Athrav K This movie may hurt some muslim people but this aint a fiction or something, open your eyes keep your ego on side, yall ignore the negative reviews, this moviee is must watch.. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Bad. Yikes, I'd be embarrassed if I made such a sh*t movie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Shubham A Absolutely mind boggling movie. Sheds light on a very sensitive issue. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review writer t The movie is a deliberate and desperate approach to show a certain community in poor light. Every scene reeks of propoganda. The movie is not at all a reflection of the society of Kerala. In fact it's quite the opposite. Many dialogues are downright misinformation as are many of the scenes. It is an insult non just to the community that's targeted, but the state of Kerala and it's people. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Mishal P Highly propagated movie, the maim focus was to try hates to the people from Kerala from other states. 42000 people cut down to 3 saying how much director tried to lie Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
