BREAKING: West Bengal has banned The Kerala Story Movie

0

The CM of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee announced a ban on Sudipto Sen’s film The Kerala Story. The film landed in controversy since the release of its trailer. The trailer was criticized for claiming earlier that 32,000 girls from Kerala had disappeared and later joined ISIS.

The news channels quoted Mamata Banerjee saying, “West Bengal govt has decided to ban the movie The Kerala Story. This is to avoid any incident of hatred and violence, and to maintain peace in the state.” She also said, “What is The Kashmir files? It is to humiliate one section. What is The Kerala story?.. It is a distorted story.” Reacting to the decision, film producer Vipul Shah said, “If that is what she has done, we will take legal action. Whatever is possible under the provisions of law, we will fight.”

Recently, The Kerala Story was banned from theaters in Tamil Nadu. President of Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners Association, M Subramaniam, confirmed the decision and told the Media, “The film was only shown in a few multiplexes owned by pan-India groups, mostly PVR. Locally owned multiplexes had already decided not to show the film, as it did not have any popular stars. In Coimbatore, for instance, there were two shows so far—one on Friday and one on Saturday. Even those did not do well. Given that, theaters decided that it was not worth going through the threat of protests and such.”

The Kerala Story stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani in the lead roles. Directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film triggered a massive controversy, with many calling it a propaganda film. Many thought that the movie might get completely banned.

However, the controversies or the bans have failed to affect the success of The Kerala Story at the box office as the film collected a net of 35 Crores first 3 days, which is a phenomenal number.

Releasing the Adipurush Trailer One Day in Advance is a Bad Plan

0

From a few days, the unit of Adipurush has been successful in generating the buzz around the movie. It is very well known to everyone that the 3D version trailer of Adipurush will be premiered in 104 theaters across the Telugu States tomorrow. The fans of Prabhas and other audience can watch the trailer in the theaters, while the movie unit has planned a special screening for the media today.

Adipurush Telugu trailer was premiered in the most famous multiplex in Hyderabad, AMB Cinemas on today at 4 PM for Press/Media people. Prabhas, Kriti Sanon, Om Raut and Producer Bhushan Kumar had attended this premier. The response to this premier was much awaited by everyone and the talk about the trailer was quite positive, however the decision of the makers to show the trailer in one day advance to the media appears to be a bad one.

The reason for Adipurush team wanting to screen the trailer one day before to the press people is not known and those who have watched the trailer are giving a positive response as they have seen it on the big screen, but the problem is now the pirated version of the trailer got leaked and that is receiving a very unnecessary mixed response for the team, and it may prove costly for them. The team of Adipurush should have released the trailer for the media and audience both at the same time.

Prabhas’ Adipurush is the costliest movie made in India, and the promotions are expected to be on a similarly large scale. Apart from Prabhas in the titular role, the film will feature Kriti Sanon as Janaki and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh and is directed by Om Raut. With Prabhas’ stardom, Om Raut’s brand value in Hindi and the advantage of being a depiction of the Ramayana, Adipurush definitely has the chance to do Rs 1000 Crores at the worldwide box office if the movie content, improved VFX and WOM are positive. Now all eyes are set on the trailer and how the audience receives it.

Director Sudipto Sen’s controversial film, The Kerala Story, hit the screens on Friday. On its release, the film surprisingly received poor reviews from the Bollywood critics, but the film seems to have impressed the audience, as it is proved by the good start it got at the box office. However, the movie was not screened in Kerala, despite the high court to stay the release of the movie.

The bans and calls for boycotts have not been able to affect the film’s box office performance. The Kerala Story does phenomenal numbers at the box office on its 1st weekend. The movie has shown exceptional growth in the numbers from day to day. According to the Bollywood Trade Circles reports, On the first day, The Kerala Story collected 8 Crores net in India.

On the second day the film got 11 Crores Net and on the third day, i.e., 16 Crores which is an excellent number. Overall, The Kerala Story has minted 35 Crores Net for 3 days in India. It again proves that the verdict of the audience is what decides the result of a movie, and not some agenda-based reviews or calls for boycotts.

Starring Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani, The Kerala Story was earlier officially described as the story of more than 32,000 Kerala women who have been allegedly been radicalized by Islamic fundamentalists. However, the number was changed to three from 32,000 after protests spread online stating that misinformation was being spread by the makers.

The Kerala Story movie revolves around Shalini Unnikrishnan (Adah Sharma), Nimah (Yogita Bihani), and Siddhi Idnani (Geetanjali), who share their room with Asifa (Sonia Balani) in a nursing college in Kasargod, Kerala. Asifa, who is an aide to ISIS, how indoctrinates and brainwashes the three girls and converts them to Islam and what happens to them is the main crux of the movie.
