In just 10 days, the Adah Sharma-starrer has managed to earn Rs 135 crore, an impressive feat.
Despite facing controversies and bans, "The Kerala Story" has emerged as the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023.
The film revolves around a Hindu woman from Kerala who is brainwashed to accept Islam and goes to Syria, later being sent to the ISIS Terrorist Organisation where she is tortured.
Directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, "The Kerala Story" claims to be based on real-life incidents where around 32,000 women from Kerala are trapped under this hazardous scheme.
The film has faced criticism and protests since the release of its trailer.
The description of the film's trailer was altered from being the ‘story of 32,000 women’ to that of three women recently, sparking another round of debate.
