Shruti who has written her autobiography in a movie called Story Of A Reversion : How I Converted To Islam And Returned To Sanatana Dharma, had earlier told a publication, "I still shudder to think of many things that I saw after I became Muslim by reciting the Kalima. There were around 65 women who had come there for conversion. It included aged women, fully pregnant women, 16-17-year-old girls, and a woman with two daughters totaling 65."
Meanwhile, people continue to call it a propaganda movie.
Kerala is way better than UP, Haryana, Gujarat and the rest of all Indian states.

Propaganda movies like #TheKeralaStory are made to radicalize the majority and incite violence against Muslims. Right after the film screening, a call of violence against Muslims is made.

I also grew up listening that cinema reflects the reality of a society.
