The Kerala Story: Rating Analysis
The Kerala Story is a hard-hitting and horrifying film. Sudipto Sen through Adah Sharma highlighted the happens in a few places in the state and stressed the need to prevent them in the future. One may disagree with the number of women missing, but even one girl shouldn't undergo such a brutal experience.
Sudipto Sen's story is realistic and powerful but at times faltered with the screenplay and direction. Had he tightened the screenplay and direction Kerala Story would have created a more stunning impact. People may take sides conveniently for and against the film, but one cannot turn a blind eye to the happenings and the sinister design of the iSIS.Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 Rating for The Kerala Story.
