Adah Sharma’s much-anticipated film “The Kerala Story” is gearing up for its digital debut on ZEE5, marking an exciting new chapter for the gripping tale directed by Sudipto Sen. The actress took to Instagram to share the news with her fans, announcing that the film will premiere on February 16th, promising viewers an immersive cinematic experience.
“The Kerala Story” follows the journey of three young women – Shalini (Adah Sharma), Nimah (Yogita Bihani), and Geetanjali (Siddhi Idnani) – who find themselves manipulated into converting to another religion by their roommate, Asifa (Sonia Balani). Divided into two parts, the film delves into the harrowing consequences of their decisions, exploring themes of manipulation, faith, and resilience.
Expressing her excitement about the film’s OTT release, Adah Sharma shared her gratitude towards the filmmakers, Vipul Shah and Sudipto Sen, for their dedication and hard work in bringing “The Kerala Story” to life. With the film’s success at the box office, Adah looks forward to reaching a wider audience through ZEE5, inviting both new viewers and those eager to revisit the film to join in the journey.
Director Sudipto Sen echoed Adah’s sentiments, emphasizing the significance of the film’s message and its impact on audiences. He encouraged viewers to engage with the film on ZEE5, promising a transformative experience that sheds light on real-life events and challenges prevalent in society.
However, “The Kerala Story” has not been without controversy. The film’s trailer, which claimed that 32,000 women went missing from Kerala, sparked debate and objections regarding the accuracy of the figures. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee labeled it a ‘distorted story’, leading to a temporary ban on the film’s screening in the state, which was later lifted following a Supreme Court directive.
Despite the controversy, “The Kerala Story” emerged as a successful box office hit, garnering attention for its compelling narrative and powerful performances. As it prepares to make its digital debut on ZEE5, the film aims to continue its impact, sparking conversations and reflections on the complexities of faith and society.
With its premiere just around the corner, “The Kerala Story” promises to captivate audiences with its thought-provoking storyline and stellar cast, offering viewers an unforgettable cinematic experience that transcends boundaries and resonates long after the credits roll.
