The Kerala Story is achieving new heights. In addition to being one of the Top 5 Bollywood debuts of 2023, it is currently the 7th-biggest debut for a female-centric movie. While practically all other films in the Top-10 list are led by actresses who had a good list of hit movies to their name before they arrived with real big openers, The Kerala Story is the only which has a leading lady out there with practically one decent Bollywood grosser of her own to her name [1920] and that too was a decade and a half back (the film released in 2008).
Adah Sharma is once again on the map thanks to the film’s excellent opening, and this could mark the start of a new chapter in her career. The actress has been extremely active on social media and in the film industry all these years, but she was waiting for that one huge movie that would really make a great impression on professional filmmakers.
Currently, the Kerala Story is the result of this. She has therefore joined stars like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vidya Balan, Kangana Ranaut, Sunny Leone, and Priyanka Chopra in the process.
