According to a report by news agency ANI, Mamata Banerjee announces ban on The Kerala Story in West Bengal.

According to a report by news agency ANI, Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, has announced that the state government has banned the screening of "The Kerala Story." The decision was made in order to prevent any potential incidents of violence or hatred and to maintain peace in the state.

The controversy surrounding "The Kerala Story" continues to escalate, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announcing that her government has decided to ban the film. In a statement to news agency ANI, Banerjee stated that the move was made to prevent any incidents of hatred or violence and to maintain peace in the state.

Banerjee went on to criticize the film, saying that it was a "distorted story" and likening it to "The Kashmir Files," which she claimed was designed to humiliate a particular group. The decision to ban the film has been met with criticism, however, with the film's producer, Vipul Shah, stating that legal action will be taken against the decision.

This news comes just after "The Kerala Story" was pulled from theaters in Tamil Nadu due to poor ticket sales. According to M Subramaniam, the President of Tamil Nadu Theatre and Multiplex Owners Association, the film was only shown in a few multiplexes owned by pan-India groups, mostly PVR. Locally-owned multiplexes had already decided not to show the film, as it did not have any popular stars. Given the lack of interest in the film, and the threat of protests, theaters ultimately decided it was not worth showing.

As the controversy continues, it remains to be seen how it will be resolved, and whether the film will ever see the light of day in theaters.

"The Kerala Story": A Controversial Film That Sparks Political Row and Earns Big at Box Office.

"The Kerala Story" is a film that stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani, and Sonia Balani in lead roles. Directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the movie has sparked a major political controversy, with many critics calling it a propaganda film.

The Kerala High Court, however, has noted that the producers have included a disclaimer along with the movie, clarifying that the film is a fictional and dramatized version of events and does not claim the accuracy or factuality of historic events. Despite calls for a ban on the film, the High Court refused to issue a stay order on its release.

On its third day of release, "The Kerala Story" earned ₹16 crore at the domestic box office, bringing its total earnings to over ₹35 crore since its release on May 5.
