The Kerala Story released in May last year, came under fire for its alleged endorsement of the love jihad conspiracy theory, stirring up a political storm across the nation. While PM Narendra Modi said the movie “exposed the ugly truth of terrorism”, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, among other opposition leaders, criticised it for propagating communal disharmony. As all 20 constituencies of Kerala go to the polls in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections, it remains to be seen how the “propaganda movie,” will impact voters’ decisions.
