The Kerala High Court had a very busy week ever since the controversy surrounding The Kerala Story 2, an upcoming movie, had led to social media uproar. Earlier, a single judge said the film must not be released for fifteen days. This judge felt the movie could cause bad fights between different religious groups. He also said the censor board did not look at the law properly when they gave the film a certificate. It was a very sudden move that stopped the film just before the big release date.

But the producers did not give up and went back to court at 8 pm. They filed a fast appeal to a division bench of judges. Their lawyer argued that the movie is just showing a social evil that exists. He told the court that the film does not make Kerala or any community look bad at all. The higher judges asked why a single judge was hearing this case, as if it were a public interest filing. They want to check if the first order was even allowed. This has made the whole situation very confusing for the fans.

The movie, directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh, was set for a Friday release. It has actors like Ulka Gupta and Aditi Bhatia in the lead roles. The story is about how some women are tricked by men who use love as a means to control them.
