\u2018The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond\u2019 (A Review)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Directed by Shri Kamakhya Narayan Singh Ji and produced by Shri Vipul Amrutlal Shah Ji under Sunshine Pictures, ‘The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond’ is a socially relevant super Hindi film. It is the sequel to the famous film ‘The Kerala Story’, which was released in 2023.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The story progresses based on the lives of a few young women from certain states (places such as Kochi in Kerala, Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, and Jodhpur in Rajasthan). While Surekha, Divya, and Neha are living happy lives with their parents, some people enter their lives as new friends. Through organized and well-planned approaches such as feigned friendship, false promises, romantic deception, gaining trust and misleading them, these individuals build relationships with the girls. At first, the young women fail to understand the jihadist motives hidden behind these relationships. Ignoring all the warnings from their families, the girls go along with these pretenders. By the time they realize the truth, they have already lost everything. What follows is their struggle to escape and to bring the truth to light.<\/p>

In the film, one of the girls tells her parents-who try to counsel her-that they are suffering from \u201cIslamophobia.\u201d She had proudly claimed that her lover was a secular gentleman, but eventually she recognizes the harsh realities. The film also depicts an incident where someone, posing as a Hindu believer, traps a girl in a love affair. There are other such instances of al-taqiyya (so-called \u201cpious lies\u201d or deceptions). In another case, a man first encourages a girl to dance despite her family\u2019s objections and, after trapping her, converts her to Islam and then forbids dance as haram. He even brings home another woman as a new bride while his wife is pregnant. All these are portrayed as only a few among many developments that have happened and are still happening in different parts of India.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The main female character in the film is based on Anuja, who in real life was an SFI leader at Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam (the same college where Abhimanyu-who was killed by jihadists-studied). Anuja allegedly fell into the love-trap jihad plot of Khaleem, a wolf in sheep\u2019s clothing who was married and the father of two children. She was later found brutally tortured, with her head completely shaved and hanging dead in a room. This was a real incident that happened in Kochi a few years ago. Are these anti-democratic acts by cadres under Social Democratic Party of India meant to cover it up? Isn\u2019t that the meaning of the hooliganism they display inside theatres? Wasn\u2019t the recent drama of intimidation staged by the \u201cprogressive\u201d cadres of Democratic Youth Federation of India at Anashwara Theatre in Kottayam intended to protect jihadist extremists who, under the cover of the beef issue, are allegedly ruining the lives of Hindu and Christian youth?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Appeal to the well-wishers..!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

It is humbly requested that theatre owners, the people associated with the film (producer, director, etc.), or the general public should be prepared to file at least one case in the Honorable Kerala High Court against those who intimidated and drove out the audience and created violence when people came to watch a film permitted by the Honorable High Court Division Bench.<\/p>

Prayer to the Honorable High Court\u2026!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

There is hopeful expectation that the Honorable High Court has the authority to issue ‘suo motu’ directions to arrest those who showed no regard for the High Court\u2019s order. It is humbly requested that such action be carried out.<\/p>

Appeal to the Honorable State Police Chief\u2026!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

It is respectfully requested that strict legal action be taken against those who intimidated viewers and created violence against people who came to watch a film permitted by the High Court Division Bench, and that adequate police protection be provided so that those interested may watch this film without fear.<\/p>

This film shows that through strong measures it is possible to end law-and-order issues, domestic violence, and so-called rape jihad. However, if it had also presented a real ideological counter-effort capable of uprooting silent jihadist sleeper-cell activities, deceptive religious conversion programs, and extremist-terrorist ideologies and recruitments, it would have provided even stronger awareness and resistance for those who might fall into such love traps.<\/p>

Appeal to the Hindu leadership\u2026!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

Instead of seeking permission from the aggressors, it is requested that all Hindu organizational leaders and community leaders hold a press conference declaring, \u201cCome boldly to watch the film; we will provide protection,\u201d and ensure that this assurance is upheld to safeguard the public. Are people staying away from theatres merely out of fear of certain groups? In reality, shouldn\u2019t an atmosphere be created where the public can watch the film with confidence and courage? If self-respecting Hindu leaders issue an organizational call, everyone will get the opportunity to watch this film. We must not forget the fact that the Communist movement took root through the cultural sphere\u2014street plays, poems, folk songs, and the dramas of groups like KPAC. Compared to hundreds of speeches, a work of art can deeply influence the hearts of the people. Spiritual leaders, revered monks, and Hindu leadership are humbly requested to take an active stand in this matter.<\/p>

In this film written by Shri Vipul Amrutlal Shah Ji and Shri Amarnath Jha Ji, Ulka Gupta as Surekha, Aditi Bhatia as Divya, Aishwarya Ojha as Neha, Sumit Gahlawat as Salim, Arjan Singh Aujla as Faizan, Yuktam Khosla as Rashid, and Alka Amin as Hafsa Begum have delivered impressive performances. The acting, presentation, background score, songs, sentiments, story, screenplay, and dialogues are all very good. The climax and the climax song become a conch-blast of dharmic victory along with a message of hope. In every way, the second part, The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, is more touching than the first film.<\/p>

To those who smile sarcastically asking where Kerala is in The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond, the answer is: \u201cKerala is present in both.\u201d<\/div>
To those who ask whether it is the story of Kerala\u2014the answer is yes, it is also the story of Kerala. It is not only the story of our sisters, but of our families as well. The film conveys how tragic consequences arising from wrong decisions can transform the lives of young women and sends a message to remain vigilant against falling into such traps.<\/div>
