1/5

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?

It’s fitting that a film about the dangers of religious indoctrination devotes every one of its scenes to brainwashing its audience.

2.5/5

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.

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.

A film so bad that its incompetence would have provided some entertainment had it not played so loose and fast with facts.

Every non Muslim girls should watch ....... It's based on true stories. And it's happening all over the world Must see especially if you have young daughters/children. Based on true events. It's an eye opener about events going on in our universities and campuses, how gullible young people can be brain washed by a powerful religious lobby gradually turning them into foot soldiers destroying their lives and the lives of their families. Brilliant movie, must see.
