The Kerala Story revolves around the stories of Hindu women from Kerala who were converted to Islam and trafficked to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). While the film has been banned in West Bengal, it is also declared tax-free in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

Recently, the film’s lead actress Adah Sharma also questioned the West Bengal government’s ban on her movie and called it disrespectful to the Central Board of Film Certification. “How it is a win for us? For one week it has been banned now. I don’t understand why. I am not the authority on it, I don’t have a say. But I feel the censor board is the official jury for all movies, everywhere. If they decide, maybe people should watch it and then have an opinion on it, whether they like it or not. But banning without watching? I don’t know. That’s not right. Then we are not respecting the censor board at all,” Adah told us.

“Still people are so supportive, despite it being banned in some places. We are really grateful to the audience who went to watch,” the actress added.
