ZEE5 To Air Kerala Story From February 16
Zee5 will air the world digital premiere of the much awaited film The Kerala Story on February 16. After bringing forth movies like The Kashmir Files, Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai and The Tashkent Files, ZEE5 is set to release another hard-hitting, true story which will be an eye-opening sensation. Inspired by real events, The Kerala Story delves into the sensitive and complex issue of the alleged radicalization and conversion of young Hindu women to another religion in Kerala, forcing them into joining terrorist groups.
What’s The Kerala Story?
The Kerala Story created quite a buzz during its theatrical release with its worldwide box office collection surpassing 300 crores and with favourable support from many across the nation. The film’s blockbuster performance at the box office created sky high anticipation for the film’s OTT release and now with ZEE5 taking up the world digital rights, The Kerala Story is set to stream on the homegrown OTT platform on February 16 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
The film follows the story of three girls: Shalini (Adah Sharma), Nimah (Yogita Bihani), and Geetanjali (Siddhi Idnani), who are manipulated by their roommate, Asifa (Sonia Balani), into converting to another religion. The movie is divided into two parts: the first half portrays how the girls were manipulated into converting to another religion, while the second half shows Shalini’s journey as Fatima Ba – a converted member of a terrorist group and her imprisonment in Afghanistan. It also shows how men were brainwashed too to woo Hindu and Christian women of Kerala in the name of love, convert them and convince them to join war zones. The shocking incidents occurred between 2018-19, when a rising number of Kerala youths had come under the influence of a terrorist group, says an official release.
Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer at ZEE5 said, “ZEE5, as a platform, is dedicated to delivering content that resonates with audiences globally. Both The Kerala Story’s plot and Adah Sharma’s character have not only earned accolades from fans and critics but have left an indelible mark with their powerful narrative and emotionally stirring performances during the film’s theatrical release. We are glad to bring a film that is based on true events and addresses a sensitive yet important subject. We strongly believe that the film will compel the audience to confront the stark realities, making it a must-watch”.
