Sudipto Sen reacts as The Kerala Story crosses Rs 80 crore

Sudipto Sen is overjoyed that his film, The Kerala Story, has earned Rs 81 crores in just seven days. Since May 8, the film has been prohibited in West Bengal. At the same time, it is now tax-free in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and MP.

THE KERALA STORY is releasing more than 40-countries together…More and more numbers are going to get added. More and more blessings, love and adulation will overwhelm us.

About the film

According to reports, the central character of The Kerala Story is an innocent Hindu woman from Kerala who is misled and converted by Islamic companions. Later, she gets transferred to the ISIS terrorist group. Everyone was surprised, though, to learn that the movie is based on actual events in which some 32,000 Keralan women fell victim to this risky ruse.
