What is the plot of The Kerala Story 2??
The Kerala Story 2 takes the central plot of love jihad forward and spans three major locations: Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Kerala. The plot revolves around three girls who get manipulated by their lovers into religious conversions and later face violent abuse and mental torture.
The trailer recently dropped online and garnered a mixed response from fans. While some praised the bold take on love jihad, others criticized it as a propaganda film. One of the beef-eating scenes grabbed eyeballs and sparked a buzz on social media.

Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, The Kerala Story 2 is among the big releases of February. After the trailer, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan criticized the movie and expressed concerns over its threat to disrupt communal harmony. The backlash further heated up with censorship of the film.
The makers expressed gratitude for the big decision of the censor board to skip the Adult or A rating. "It reflects their faith in the intent and integrity with which we have told this story. This decision is especially important because it allows us to reach young girls and families across the country."
