It came under fire after the release of the trailer which claimed that 32,000 girls from the state went missing and later joined the terrorist group, ISIS. Earlier, Kangana had reacted to the controversy around The Kerala Story at an event. She told ABP, “High Court has said that the film cannot be banned. I think it’s not showing anybody in the bad light but only ISIS, right? If HC, the country’s most responsible body is saying this, then they are right. ISIS is a terrorist organisation. It’s not like I am calling them terrorist, our country, Home Ministry (Ministry of Home Affairs) and other countries as well have called them so. If you think ISIS is not a terrorist outfit despite its declaration then you are also a terrorist.” On Friday, The Kerala High Court noted that the producers of The Kerala Story have published a disclaimer along with the movie which specifically says that the film has fictionalised and is a dramatised version of events. It also mentioned that the film doesn’t claim accuracy or factuality of historic events. Box Office Collection Report
