What are netizens saying about The Kerala Story 2?

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond has been receiving mixed responses, as some said that it is a propaganda film while others claimed that it is a well-researched film.

One review stated, "#TheKeralaStory2 is a total disgrace & epic disaster. Don’t fall for the box office hype—it’s Sound of Freedom all over again: rich donors & groups bulk-buying tickets as ‘support,’ not actual viewers. Pure propaganda. Director, actors, everyone involved should be ashamed."

While another commented, "#TheKeralaStory2 must watch for all Hindus . Please do watch with your family to know the real pain of our daughters and sisters and mothers and sisters #Women."

"Saw the #TheKeralaStory2 & it has nothing about or against Keralam. A heart wrenching movie about relations between parents and teenage daughters. Be it a influencer girl, a sportswoman or a wanna be liberal girl the movie just tries to open your eyes to reality!" read one review.

"Literally shivering and then comes these leftists and secular hindus, “Hamesha Hindu Girl hi kyu convert hoti hai " Line said a lot This movie is not propaganda," said one.

What's the plot of The Kerala Story 2?

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, expands on its predecessor, focusing on the harrowing journeys of three Hindu women, an aspiring scholar, an athlete, and a dancer, whose lives are destroyed after being lured into deceptive marriages. It explores themes of forced conversion and societal pressures across different Indian states.

The film delves into the collapse of lofty dreams and the erosion of identity among women coerced into confining circumstances. It seeks to spotlight their struggle to rediscover and reclaim their sense of self, carrying forward the provocative storytelling approach of the original instalment backed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah. This narrative examines the profound psychological and emotional impact of grooming, forced conversion, and entrapment.

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond features Ulka Gupta as Surekha, Aditi Bhatia as Divya, Aishwarya Ojha as Neha, Sumit Gahlawat as Salim, Arjan Singh Aujla as Faizan, Yuktam Kholsa as Rasheed, and Alka Amin as Hafsa Begum.
