Plot
Shalini Unnikrishnan, a woman who converted to Islam, shares her harrowing journey of aspiring to become a nurse, only to be coerced by extremist groups in College who posed as friends. She was eventually manipulated into joining the ISIS and ended up imprisoned in Afghanistan.
The makers of the film have claimed that the film is the true story of an instance of "love jihad", a Hindutva conspiracy theory that non-Muslim women are targeted for conversion to Islam through marriage as an international plot by Muslims to alter India's demographics.
The character of Fathima Ba is a Hindu Malayali nurse who had converted to Islam and joined the ISIS, before ending up in an Afghan jail. She claimed to be one of 32,000 girls from the Hindu and Christian communities, who are missing from Kerala and have been recruited into the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) after being converted to Islam.The Observer Research Foundation and Indian government have stated that not more than 100-200 Indians have joined the group from the entire country, with people from Kerala accounting for less than a quarter of them. The figures posited in the film also exceed the entire strength of the ISIS.Later, in response to litigation, the film-makers removed all promotional materials, including the teaser, that had the erroneous figure.
About a fortnight later, in response to further litigation, Sen admitted to all figures in the film being inauthentic, and that the film was a "fictionalized" portrayal of real-life events
