Rahul Gandhi says ‘nobody is watching’ The Kerala Story 2, BJP MP’s wife defends film

The note also claims, “Movies, TV, and the media have been weaponised. They are being used precisely to vilify people, to alienate communities, and to create divisions in society so that certain groups can benefit while others are harmed.”

“If a person wants to make a certain type of film, say something in the media, or defend particular ideas, they are attacked and often not allowed to speak. I experience this all the time,” further reads the note, adding, “On the other hand, certain narratives can be spread and propagated as much as people want, and nothing happens to them.”

She also added, “Whatever I say about the film might not do justice to it. This is not just a film, it’s a mirror to society. We all need to reflect on where we are as a society and ensure no Hindu girl goes through what the girls went through in this film.”

The Kerala Story 2 is a sequel to Sudipto Sen’s 2023 film The Kerala Story. It stars Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia and Aishwarya Ojha as three women who become victims of an abusive plot after marrying outside their religion. The film ran into trouble after a petition was filed at the Kerala High Court seeking a stay on its release. A bench lifted a single judge’s interim stay and cleared it for release.
