The music by Mannan Shaah and Rahul Suhaas doesn't contribute much here. The background score, again by Mannan, is deafening, to say the least.""Overall, The Kerala Story 2 is less a film and more a thesis delivered at high decibel. It is not interested in complexity. Instead, it chooses caricatures and alarm. Whether one agrees with its politics or not, what is undeniable is that nuance is sacrificed at the altar of impact. And when outrage becomes the aim, the medium suffers as much as the message," it further read.The Kerala Story 2 rowSince the release of the trailer, the sequel received strong reactions from all corners.
