ReviewIf too many fights and a convoluted plot were all that’s wrong, it’d be easy to dismiss the film. But this is an M Muthaiah film, so alongside seemingly endless fight sequences, is a large helping of Thevar caste pride.FilmPoster/CourtesyAryaTwitterSome films are done more justice by one-liners from audiences than by writing full-length reviews. By the time the intermission rolled up for Kathar Basha Endra Muthuramlingam for example, one bemused audience member observed: “Padatha poduvanunga nu paatha, sandaiyadhaan pottukitte irukaanga”. A reaction to be deeply empathised with. Kathar Basha Endra Muthuramalingam follows the dramatic lives of Kathar (Arya) and Tamil Selvi (Siddhi Idnani). Very quickly into the film, Kathar declares, “I know only justice, truth, and honour. Apart from that, I know how to stab, punch, and kill”. The latter is what he spends most of his time in the film doing. Cue high-decibel nerve-wracking music:...

Mumbai, May 18 (Ians) Filmmaker Sudipto Sen introduced the real inspiration for his controversial movie, ‘The Kerala Story’, at a press in Mumbai on Wednesday evening.

“Their number is too many in our country, but few of them are with us today here, and I want to honour them all,” Sen said.

Veteran star Shabana Azmi has shown her support to the latest released film ‘The Kerala Story’ starring Adah Sharma as the movie is currently in a soup due to controversies. Shabana on Monday tweeted that those who want to ban the film are “as wrong as those who wanted to ban” the Aamir Khan-starrer ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ last year.
She tweeted: “Those who speak of banning #The Kerala Story are as wrong as those who wanted to ban Aamir Khan’s #Laal Singh Chaadha. Once a film has been passed by the Central Board of Film Certification, nobody has the right to become an extra constitutional authority.”
‘The Kerala Story’ got in trouble after the film’s trailer claimed that 32,000 girls from the state went missing and later joined Isis, the terrorist group. Last year, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ too faced troubles as a section of people on social media platforms...

It’s the tourist brochure version of Kerala that you will never see in a Malayalam film.

Earlier on Tuesday, the apex court had declined to immediately hear a plea seeking a stay on the release of the controversial movie direceted by Sudipto Sen and produced by Sunshine Pictures.
A bench comprising justices K.M. Joseph and B.V. Nagarathna observed that the censor board has already cleared the movie and the petitioners should rather challenge the film’s certification before an appropriate authority.
The bench said that the exhibition of films entails a different process, therefore the plea seeking a stay on the release of the movie cannot be clubbed with hate speech matters.

Film director and producer Vipul Shah talked about his film ‘The Kerala Story’, in which actress Adah Sharma is playing the role of Fathima Ba, a Hindu Malayali nurse, who is among the 32,000 women who went missing from Kerala and were then recruited to the Isis (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) after being forced to convert to Islam.
As the story is based on true events, Vipul Amrutlal Shah said that it involved a lot of research, and it is an attempt to bring out the truth in front of everyone.
He said: “The film is an amalgamation of years of research and true stories which have never been dared to be told before, it will uncover many hidden truths that have been hidden for long. It will uncover the dangerous threat radicalisation poses to the women of our nation and will create awareness about this conspiracy being hatched against India.
