The Kerala Story ban controversy
Adah Sharma starrer The Kerala Story was released all over in India barring West Bengal, where it was banned by the Mamata Banerjee led TMC government. However, the Supreme Court turned over the ban in an order. The makers had earlier organised a press conference in Kolkata after the ban was lifted and claimed that the movie was still not running in cinema halls in the state and the distributors were allegedly receiving threatening calls.
Despite of all the controversies, The Kerala Story's success skyrocketed and became the second highest-grossing Hindi film after Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan. Lead actress Adah Sharma also claimed that this is the first female-oriented movie that has entered the 200 crore club.
