Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: ‘The Kerala Story’ screening abruptly canceled after British Board of Film Classification delay

By

The Kerala Story is a box office hit. It tells the story of a group of Christian and Hindu college girls from Kerala who were converted to Islam by coercion (aka “love jihad”), recruited for jihad, and sent off to Iraq and Syria to become Islamic State jihadists. It’s causing a big stir, particularly in India. Since the film does considerable damage to the propaganda that casts Muslims as victims while ignoring the Islamic persecution of minorities in India and in neighboring Pakistan — where each year, 1,000 Hindu and Christian girls are forcibly converted to Islam — it is being banned in some locations in India. And now The Kerala Story has also been banned in the UK, at least temporarily, “after a delay in the classification from the British Board of Film Classification.” Some are accusing the BBFC of censorship. Time will tell.

How often does one see a box office hit cancelled because of a delay in classification? It does indeed look like censorship, particularly in light of the fact that Britain has a history of appeasing Islamic supremacists. In the meantime, the film is getting notice and we can hope that it will continue to get even more attention far and wide, even as Islamic apologists attempt to stifle it.

“The Kerala Story screening gets abruptly cancelled in UK. Here’s what happened,” WION, May 15, 2023:

Not only in India, but The Kerala Story is creating quite a buzz internationally as well. The movie was released in the UK on May 12, however before the first show, it was pulled down from the screens.

The screening was cancelled throughout the country after a delay in the classification from the British Board of Film Classification.

People from the Indian diaspora were left furious after all the screenings were cancelled and tickets were refunded. Shocked by the sudden cancellation, some netizens were quick to share the news on Twitter….

Cineworld’s tweet reads, ”Hi, we are sorry that the upcoming performances of The Kerala Story have been cancelled. This is due to the film not receiving an age rating in time for the scheduled release date, all affected customers will be contacted and refunded. Apologies for any disappointment caused.”

Later, BBFC also issued a statement, saying that the movie is still going through its classification process.

The tweet reads: ”The Kerala Story is still going through our classification process. Once the film has received a BBFC age rating and content advice, it will be available to be screened in UK cinemas. 1/2.”…

  1. ”…we are sorry that the upcoming performances of The Kerala Story have been cancelled. This is due to the film not receiving an age rating in time for the scheduled release date….

    That’s a really, really good excuse! I wonder how long it took them to come up with that? But we can’t go upsetting a ‘certain community’ whom a previous Government promised to allow to ‘practise their religion unhindered’, can we? Never mind if that involves hindering everyone else and turning a blind eye when thousands of young girls’ lives are ruined because of their ‘religion’, as seems to be the subject matter of the film in question.

  2. A good indication of how much a movie, book or anything else is telling the truth is the levels of censorship that is encounters.
    We only have to look at the Satanic Verses and the shit that still goes on to this day over its contents.

    The truth always comes to the surface, so with luck one of the streaming services will take it up and then even more people will become aware of this crime against humanity.

  3. Anyone or anything that reveals the truth about what muslims are up to is a big No No to them. muslims intend to take over by using stealth and keep their dirty secrets hidden from all of us. Unfortunately the British government and the MSM are complying to their demands. So when you get people likes Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller intending to expose them, they are instantly banned from entering the country. The same applies to the Kerala story, there is truth in it, so it has to be banned.
    muslims are at war with us but the majority of the British people are still oblivious to this.
    When there numbers grow and they start killing us all off, people may eventually wake up, but at the moment we are being led like lambs to the slaughter.

  4. The government chooses Muslim’s feelings over girls’ rights every time. That should backfire once the age rating is approved, with all the publicity it is getting now.

    No doubt, some Muslim called the BBFC to complain about the audacity of someone telling the truth about Islam.

  5. I watched some discussions about the movie, and according to some, the situation in UK is even worse than it is in Kerala, where some of the women in question did get to escape and revert to their original faiths

    In the case of the British victims, it seems to be more of a one way street to hell, since no government will even acknowledge that fact. By contrast, one of the deleted scenes in the movie was an interview w/ a former Marxist chief minister of Kerala, who warned that the state could become a muslim state in 20 years (and this was in the early 2000s)

    Some good news: I read about one or more Hindu girls in Gujarat cancel their engagements/marriages to muslim men after watching this movie. Well, I guess better late than never, even if one wonders what made them think that it was a good idea in the first place

  8. I can understand the British reaction. They have their Rotherham. This film will become a highlighting over Rotherham episodes. This film will question the indolence of the British conscientially. Only difference being, in Rotherham there was no diversion of girls into IS.

  9. Anyway, in India in some states the film is tax free and is watched by entire cohorts of politicians, ministers and bureaucrats officially….
