Controversy Surrounding 'The Kerala Story' Movie

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has banned the screening of the controversial film 'The Kerala Story' in the state, citing concerns of "hatred and violence". The film, which depicts the conversion of women from Kerala to Islam and their recruitment by the Islamic State, has been described by Banerjee as a "distorted movie" aimed at defaming the southern state. Any theatre found showing the film will face action, according to a senior official.
