'The Kerala Story is a factually wrong film, has no cinematic value,' says film editor Bina Paul

While Adah Sharma starrer The Kerala Story has turned out to be a bonafide blockbuster at the box office, it has received criticism from some filmmakers and stars like Anurag Kashyap and Kamal Haasan for the credibility and the authenticity of the story.

And the latest one to join them is film editor Bina Paul, who said that she is upset with the limelight it is receiving in India. “I am really upset about the fact that the film got so much mileage, frankly quite unnecessarily. It would have died a natural death if nobody had talked about it. This is a kind of atmosphere of impunity today. You are protected, you can say completely factually wrong stuff. The producers had to change the trailer because of the misrepresentation of the facts and nobody talked about that. So, in this atmosphere of impunity, I think this film would do well,” said the eminent personality at the India Today Conclave South 2023 calling the film ‘factually wrong’.
