The Kerala Story Reviews
Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in
It’s fitting that a film about the dangers of religious indoctrination devotes every one of its scenes to brainwashing its audience.
Full Review | Nov 27, 2023
Vinamra Mathur Firstpost
Director Sudipto Sen and creative director Vipul Amrutlal Shah pick up a bone-chilling subject but The Kerala Story isn't able to chew the meat of its narrative or rise above ordinary.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 27, 2023
Carla Hay Culture Mix
This timeline-jumping, messy melodrama wants to depict how women become human trafficking victims of terrorists. However, the film does it in an irresponsible and deceptive way. The Kerala Story goes overboard in excusing certain people of certain crimes.

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express
When a film shines a light on different aspects of an issue, it creates space for reflection and conversation, and you come away with food for thought. What about a film which does exactly the opposite?
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 5, 2023
Saibal Chatterjee NDTV
A film so bad that its incompetence would have provided some entertainment had it not played so loose and fast with facts.
Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5 | May 5, 2023
Abhishek Srivastava The Times of India
This thought-provoking film is disturbing and surely manages to leave an impact.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2023
Deepanjana Pal Film Companion
It's not entirely fair to call this controversial work a film since it's all propaganda. This is a shame because the subject could have been tackled in a way that felt insightful.
