THE KERALA STORY MOVIE REVIEW
IndiaToday.in reviewed The Kerala Story, backed by Vipul Shah. In the review, it was mentioned, "The Kerala Story specifically pitches one religion over the other and that is where the problem with the film lies. Sure, it does not want to malign Islam as a whole, but it definitely tries to provoke the Hindus and poke at the sentiments that they hurt the most. The film has been irresponsible."
