The movie still pulled off an amazing achievement by breaking the 50 crore mark on Day 5 (May 09). Scroll down to read The Kerala Story Box Office Collection Day 6 below.
The Kerala Story Box Office Collection Day 6
Early estimates indicate that the Adah Sharma-starring movie made roughly Rs 12 crore, an increase of about 9% over Tuesday’s earnings. The Kerala Story has already earned approximately Rs 68.72 crore in six days. On May 10, 2023, the divisive movie scored 32.06% Hindi occupancy overall.
To stop acts of hatred and violence, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has ordered that The Kerala Story screenings be banned throughout the state. However, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have declared the Sudipto Sen-directed film tax-free. Joining the trend, Uttarakhand is preparing to make The Kerala Story tax-free.
About The Kerala Story
Adah Sharma portrays Fathima Ba. Fathima Ba is a Hindu Malayali nurse who was one of the 32,000 women who vanished from Kerala and was later recruited by the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) after being forced to convert to Islam, in the movie “The Kerala Story.” The movie also exposes the ‘Love Jihad’ propaganda, in which Muslim men coerce Hindu girls into becoming Muslims and leaving their families.
A petition was started against the movie shortly after its trailer was released. It claims that it contained the “worst kind of hate speech” and “audio-visual propaganda.” Many political figures criticized the movie and charged that its creators were inventing the number “32000 women” and making false claims that it was based on a true story. They also demanded a stay order on the film’s release. However, the State High Court did not approve the appeal and the film was released as per its release date. The court stated that the film subtitle says that the story is based on true events.
