The Kerala Story Movie's Legal Controversy Explained

As we all know about the ongoing controversy about the film "The Kerala Story". The film has been facing a lot of legal challenges owing to the contents and visuals of the same.
The legal action against it, can be traced from 2nd May when initially an Interlocutory Application was filed before the Supreme Court in Hate speech case. After the application was dismissed on grounds of "inappropriate remedy" a separate petition was filed on the same day later by an Islamic Organisation. This petition was mentioned for urgent listing on 3rd May by Advocate Vrinda Grover, however the CJI dismissed the same saying that they should invoke the jurisdiction of High Court rather than coming directly to the Supreme Court.
While a petition is already ongoing in the Kerala HC seeking a stay on the release, it has been scheduled to be heard on 5th May. The Kerala High Court had also sought the responses from the Centre and the Producers of the film.
On 3rd May one more petition was filed in the Madras High Court which was dismissed on 4th May after being listed for early hearing.
Although no final decision has been taken as of yet, the matter is currently pending before the Kerala High Court. It has been listed for hearing on 5th May, 2023 the same day on which the movie is set to release.

4 KERALA GIRLS JOINED IN ISIS AFTER CONVERSION AND THEY ARE NOW IN AFGAN JAIIL IS KNOWN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. WHY ARE ALL THESE INSTITUTIONS WASTING TIME ON SUCH TRUE EVENTS. THE COURT SHOULD TELL THAT THE FILM STORY IS A TRUE ONE

The Kerala Government should take legal action making the producers and directors parties for spreading misinformation, harming the communal harmony and integrity of the state and its people, and maligning the face of the state unnecessarily on the national and international stage. Now, considering the statement of the Kerala High Court, anyone can be granted the liberty of creating a story, in this case generating superficial info about a sensitive issue and announcing it as A True Story, then the integrity of state will be in question every day.

Huh...we've seen countless examples like this. What's new about it?? Filmmakers add masala in order to catch viewers.
However the director producer should be answerable for spreading false narrative, if their claims aren't true.

Must be banned. Because it will create communal tensions. This film is a follow up trend of Kashmir files.
