‘Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond’: Why hate breeds only more hate for the movie | Review

Follow Us Remember 'Shalini Unnikrishnan from Diruandhapuram,' the widely trolled character in 'The Kerala Story'? In 'The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond,' the filmmakers introduce a new Malayali character, Surekha Nair, from Kochi. However, their attempt to link the film to Kerala falls flat when the opening shots, showing Surekha and her family driving through sprawling paddy fields, make Kochi known for its city landscape look indistinguishable from Alappuzha.

Key Highlights

  • This oversight marks the first of many missteps for the movie, setting the tone for a film more interested in pushing an ideology than crafting an authentic narrative.
  • While the makers of the first 'Kerala Story' aimed to introduce the concept of ‘love jihad’ and explore its roots through a college setting, the creators of 'The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond' skip this contextual foundation.
  • They assume that the audience is already familiar with the film's 'purpose'— that is to ‘misinform’— forced religious conversions are happening behind the walls of every Muslim home.
  • ADVERTISEMENT At the core of the film are three girls, all of whom we know from the outset will fall victim to ‘love jihad,’ with the only suspense being how they will be ensnared.
  • The first film explored brainwashing within a college setting, where the victims are manipulated by a fellow Muslim roommate into joining the ISIS.
