The Kerala Story OTT release date - Adah Sharma's controversial film is finally set to begin streaming on THIS platform

When The Kerala Story was released in theaters, it generated a lot of interest because it earned more than 300 crores at the box office worldwide and had strong national support. High expectations were raised for the movie's over-the-top (OTT) distribution after its phenomenal box office performance. Now that ZEE5 has acquired global digital rights, The Kerala Story is scheduled to debut in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam on the platform on February 16, 2024.

What's The Kerala Story all about?

Three girls—Shalini (Adah Sharma), Nimah (Yogita Bihani), and Geetanjali (Siddhi Idnani)—are the focus of the movie. Asifa (Sonia Balani), their roommate, manipulates them into changing their religion. The film is split into two halves: the first portion describes how the girls were tricked into becoming members of a terrorist organization, and the second part follows Shalini's journey as Fatima Ba, a converted terrorist, and her captivity in Afghanistan.

The film also demonstrates how males were indoctrinated to seduce Kerala's Hindu and Christian women under the pretext of love, convert them, and persuade them to join combat zones. The alleged startling events happened in 2018–19, when certain number of youngsters in Kerala were influenced by terrorist organizations.
