This film had no hero, still earned Rs 300 crore, became blockbuster, made lead actress a superstar, the film is…

One of the most anticipated movies, The Kerala Story, was released theatrically on May 5, last year, and shook everyone with its phenomenal box office performance. It earned over Rs 300 crore globally despite being made on a budget of Rs 30 crore. The film turned out to be a game-changer for Adah Sharma, as she earned massive popularity following its tremendous success. She carved a special place for herself with a performance that was not just impactful, but also deeply real and emotionally raw.

The Kerala Story took Adah’s career to new heights, “After Kerala Story, there are a lot of things which I am doing, which are quite different. I am happy that filmmakers are seeing that I can do different roles.” She said in an interview.

Directed by Sudipto Sen and bankrolled by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, The Kerala Story was among the biggest successes of 2023. Apart from Adah Sharma, the film also starred Yogita Bilani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani in pivotal roles.

The narrative of The Kerala Story revolves around three young women, Shalini (portrayed by Adah Sharma), Nimah (played by Yogita Bihani), and Geetanjali (enacted by Siddhi Idnani). Their lives drastically take a dark turn when their roommate, Asifa (played by Sonia Balani), manipulates them into converting a different faith. The story also reveals how some men pretended to love Hindu and Christian women, in order to convince them to convert their religions.

Despite facing objections and bans in certain regions, the film became the highest-grosser of the year. The Kerala Story was released digitally on February 16, 2024, on Zee 5, marking a significant moment for both the makers and eager audiences alike.
