The film narrates a story of religious conversion in Kerala and some young girls being recruited by terror group ISIS.

‘The Kerala Story’ landed in controversy ever since its trailer released, with critics claiming it vilifies Muslims as a community. On the other hand, the film has been receiving praise from several BJP leaders and Hindu groups.
