Vipul Shah and Adah Sharma's 'The Kerala Story' to be screened at International Film Festival of India 2023 in Goa

Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s The Kerala Story won accolades and emerged as a box office blockbuster. The film that dealt with the sensitive subject of forceful religious conversion now adds a new feather to its already eclectic cap. _‘The Kerala Story_ ’ is scheduled to make its debut at the grand screen at the 54th IFFI ( International Film Festival of India ) 2023 in Goa. The film will be screened on November 27 at 4:30 PM at INOX Screen-II in Goa. The film joins the ranks of several prestigious international titles from around the world that will be screened at IFFI 2023.

The Kerala Story is a drama that delves into the intricate lives and culture of Kerala. Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Sudipto Sen, the film promises to take audiences on a compelling journey of three women from the southern state of Kerala who are lured into joining the Islamic State (IS) group after being converted. While the film came along with an immensely compelling narrative, it also became the fifth-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023. The film enjoyed phenomenal trending in the domestic market and is expected to continue its magical run in the coming due to the absence of Bollywood biggies at the box office. Talking about the humongous success of the film, actress  Yogita Bihani told Firstpost , ‘This has been something that I never expected, honestly. Every day there is a realization that oh, the film is reaching here, so many people are watching it, so many people are appreciating it, so many people are messaging me, you know. When you touch people’s lives, they really put that effort, especially if they know you. They have been trying to get in touch with me through friends, family, and messaging me on Instagram and that’s unreal.’ Directed by Sudipto Sen, the film is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah under the banner of Sunshine Pictures.
