The release of the controversial movie 'The Kerala Story' has faced backlash in several districts across Kerala.
Theatre owners in Kochi and other districts have decided to boycott the movie.
Shows of the movie have been canceled on its release day.
The film is about the alleged radicalization and conversion of young Hindu women to Islam in Kerala, before inducting them into terrorist outfit Islamic State (IS).
The Supreme Court has refused to entertain a petition challenging the CBFC certification granted to the movie.
The court observed that producers have invested money in the film and actors have dedicated their labor, and it is for the market to decide if the movie is not up to the mark.
