Controversy Surrounds 'The Kerala Story 2': Art or Propaganda?

The yet-to-be-released film 'The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond' has incited heated debates across political lines. The BJP supports the film, viewing it as a legitimate exploration of religious conversion, whereas Left and Congress leaders criticize it as spreading hate propaganda aimed at communal discord.

Directed by Kamakhya Narain Singh and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film's trailer emerged amidst controversy, exploring the stories of three Hindu women coerced into converting after marrying Muslim men. Supporters view it as an urgent narrative, while detractors see it as an incendiary piece contradicting Kerala's secular traditions.

The film has highlighted divides on issues of religious conversion and artistic expression. With support from BJP, it contrasts sharply against the backlash from Kerala's government and Congress, portraying differing views on cinematic narratives and political survival. The conversation continues to reverberate as the film nears its February 27 release.
