Despite the Kerala High Court placing a temporary hold on The Kerala Story 2’s release, tickets for the film remain available on various online platforms, creating confusion among moviegoers about its actual status.
The High Court issued a 15-day interim stay on the film’s release, highlighting concerns that the Central Board of Film Certification may not have fully considered guidelines related to communal harmony and public order when granting a U A certificate. This decision followed petitions questioning the film’s content and its clearance.
However, ticketing websites have continued to advertise screenings in multiple cities, leaving potential viewers astonished to find that they could still book seats for the film. Social media has erupted with questions, with users wondering if cinemas have simply not updated their listings or if the stay only applies in certain areas. Frustration has been voiced over the lack of clear communication regarding the film’s release status.
So far, the creators of The Kerala Story 2 have not provided any official updates on why tickets are still being sold online. The legal matters surrounding the film are ongoing, with additional hearings slated to determine the next steps.
Directed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh and starring Ulka Gupta, Aditi Bhatia, and Aishwarya Ojha, the film has attracted controversy since its announcement. Critics argue that its storyline could incite social discord, which has led to the current legal challenges.
As the situation stands, while tickets can still be purchased online, the film’s actual screening status in theaters remains uncertain, leaving audiences in a state of anticipation for more definitive news.
