Releasing in over 1300 screens, the film starring Adah Sharma has earned approximately Rs 8crores on the first day of its release. The film stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani in the lead.

‘The Kerala Story’ starring Adah Sharma was released in cinemas on Friday and was initially portrayed as “unearthing” the events behind “approximately 32,000 women” allegedly going missing from Kerala.

According to the CPI(M) and the Congress in Kerala, the film falsely claims that 32,000 women got converted and radicalised and were deployed in terror missions in India and the world.
