Bastar: The dynamic filmmaking duo, Sudipto Sen and Vipul Shah, known for the acclaimed film "The Kerala Story", declared their forthcoming film "Bastar" on Monday. The film, slated for an April 2024 release, is centred around an authentic incident, much to the excitement of their audience.
Sunshine Pictures Tweets Announcement of 'Bastar'

The Legacy of 'The Kerala Story' - A Controversial Success
"The Kerala Story" generated a nationwide stir, painting a controversial picture of women from Kerala coerced into conversion and subsequently recruited by the infamous terror group, Islamic State (IS). The film, notwithstanding its contentious narrative, enjoyed considerable box office success, raking in over INR 200 crores. However, it also faced its fair share of adversity with bans in West Bengal and halted screenings in Tamil Nadu due to law and order concerns and lacklustre audience turnout. The film, however, enjoyed tax-free status in BJP-led states including Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Haryana.
The Star-Studded Ensemble of 'The Kerala Story'
A key factor contributing to the success of "The Kerala Story" was its stellar cast, featuring Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Sonia Balani, and Siddhi Idnani. While the cast for "Bastar" has yet to be revealed, given the filmmaker duo's track record, fans are eagerly anticipating another ensemble of talented performers.
The Awaited Arrival of 'Bastar'
As the audience eagerly awaits more details on "Bastar", the announcement has certainly whetted the appetite for those keen to witness another compelling narrative from the makers of "The Kerala Story". With a release date set in stone for 2024, fans of Indian cinema can look forward to another cinematic journey into a true-life incident that promises to be as gripping as it is thought-provoking.
