The film has a non-linear plot that goes back and forth in time to present Shalini as she is now – a prisoner being interrogated at a United Nations incarceration centre – and Shalini as she was then – an innocent lamb being led to slaughter. The film, though, not only has this imaginary figure of “32,000” but goes on to add that the actual, unofficial figure is “50,000”. When the number was fact-checked, the team backtracked and made it “3”. However, all the “creative” liberties it takes with these stories are presented as the absolute truth, with no serious attempt to understand why such radicalisation takes place and what feeds it.īefore its release, for instance, the promos claimed that the film was about “32,000” women from Kerala who had been misled into joining ISIS. They had left India with their spouses and a group of others to join the ISIS. The film is loosely inspired by a video report put together by StratNewsGlobal, a Delhi-based news website, that pieced together the footage of three young Malayali women who were questioned by Indian officials about their links to the terrorist organisation ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). Written by Sudipto Sen, Suryapal Singh, and Vipul Amrutlal Shah, The Kerala Story is a knight-in-shining-armour attempt to save the Hindu and Christian women of Kerala who are walking the roads in their nighties (minus a Kathakali friend), unaware that they’re on the verge of being impregnated by Muslim men and transported to Syria.
