Description: The Kerala Story is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The storyline revolves around a group of women from Kerala who convert to Islam and join ISIS. The film has generated controversy for its claims that thousands of women from Kerala are being converted and recruited into the extremist group, leading to accusations from political parties in Kerala that it advances a specific agenda.
Featuring Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani, the film was released on May 5, 2023. Although it is marketed as based on real events, the accuracy of its statistics has been questioned, with many critics citing a lack of evidence to support the figures presented. The teaser, released on November 3, 2022, showcased Adah Sharma portraying Fathima Ba—a Hindu nurse from Kerala who converts to Islam and ultimately finds herself imprisoned in Afghanistan. The film suggests she is among the 32,000 girls from Hindu and Christian backgrounds who have reportedly gone missing after being recruited into ISIS, although these numbers have been disputed due to misrepresentations and inaccuracies.
