‘Kerala Story 2’ is rewriting box office records, surpassing ₹20 crore in six days while battling ‘Assi and O Romeo’. Holi’s colors couldn’t overshadow its draw, reflecting deep resonance with viewers.
Writer-lyricist Manoj Muntashir, a vocal supporter of the franchise, issues a profound request. Ditch the commercial angle—prioritize your daughters. He advocates family viewings to arm them against love jihad-like deceptions depicted in the film.
‘These stories aren’t just cinema; they’re lifelines for our girls,’ he asserts. By exposing manipulative tactics of false love and conversions, the movie empowers prevention. Muntashir envisions widespread adoption as the ultimate triumph over critics.
Scandals erupted early: trailer backlash claimed it smears a community, inciting division. Prominent voices sought bans; Kerala High Court tussled over title changes and stays, resolved by appellate approval.
The gripping account follows three Kerala-bound students trapped by calculated seductions from a targeted group. Feigned commitments lead to coerced faith changes, spelling doom. Through Muntashir’s lens, ‘Kerala Story 2’ transcends controversy, emerging as a crucial wake-up call for safeguarding the next generation.
