The controversy surrounding The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond escalated after the Division Bench of the Kerala High Court cleared the film for theatrical release, despite allegations that it stereotypes Kerala and its people. The verdict came as a relief to the makers, who had been battling legal and political challenges in the run-up to the release.
Soon after the court’s decision, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah addressed the media at a press conference and confirmed that the film had hit theatres on the evening of 28 February 2026. He said, “Shows have started to open up organically, so I would like to urge the audience that we have made a film with a lot of hard work. It’s an honest movie, and the biggest proof of its honesty is that the Kerala Court has vacated the stay order.”
Shah added, “Had it been a dishonest movie, the Kerala Court would have called it out and wouldn’t have vacated the stay order. So I am grateful to the Kerala Court and the honorable Justices—not just me, my entire team is grateful to them.”
The Kerala Story 2 Goes Beyond, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and produced by Shah through Sunshine Pictures, is the sequel to the 2023 film The Kerala Story. The film stars Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha, expanding the narrative of its predecessor.
The story follows the lives of several young women across different Indian states, exploring themes of personal relationships, alleged religious conversion, and societal pressures. After generating legal and political debate following the release of its teaser and trailer, the film officially released theatrically on 28 February 2026, drawing attention for both its controversial themes and courtroom clearance.
