When it comes to filmmaking, the screenplay is sentimental. The border security forces apprehend Fatima Ba, also known as shalini Unnikrishnan (Adah Sharma), and quiz her about being a "wanted terrorist." However, not a single arm has been picked up by this woman during the entire film. She becomes a feared terrorist by staying in an ISIS-safe house, right? Now that we have moved on, she tells her complete tale of how she got there. Following are two levels of parallel flashbacks when she has just left her home to pursue her studies and when she has arrived in syria and is being beaten by her husband. The story's pace is harmed by the constant back and forth that results.

The ambient music heightens the dramatization. Imagine that a girl has been converted and is being married off so she can give the father of her unborn child's name. Rushing to her daughter's wedding, the bride's mother announces that she has accepted everything—including the couple's conversion—and just need them to stay with her for two days. And the music in the background is "Love jihad, love jihad, love jihad" as everyone around her tells her that's not possible. Therefore, The kerala Story does not allow for any complexity.

The images are graphic, particularly the cruelty displayed by the fanatics. Brilliant cinematography is used. It's nauseating to see blood and dead scattered throughout the stunning landscape of mountains, rivers, and sand. Overall, though, the plot is harmed by the screenplay and music, so the impact fades quickly.

When it comes to execution, The kerala Story is not The kashmir Files. Unfortunately, it does have the potential to escalate racial animosity. Undoubtedly, it might have been made better and with greater responsibility.
