Review
First of all, truth is not absolute and can be twisted. There are a lot of creative liberties that are taken by us all, in various spheres of life. However, what makes people extremists is when they fabricate stories around the truth that push their own agenda. It is exactly like what the extremists shown in the film do. It is also what the makers of the film, unfortunately, have fallen for! The Kerala Story smacks propaganda, which takes the art out of the film and makes it a bad watch.
The hostel scenes featuring the girls are well executed, but there are also dull and uninteresting moments in the film, particularly when Asifa attempts to brainwash and radicalize Shalini. It is important to exercise caution during the extremely disturbing rape scene in the ISIS slave camp.
At certain points, the film feels more like a tutorial on radicalization than entertainment for the audience. It also goes to extremes to make its point, and that could be quite unsettling for audiences belonging to various communities in our country. After watching ‘The Kerala Story,’ you may be left with several questions about the current state of the country. This thought-provoking film is disturbing and surely manages to leave an impact.
