Filmmaker Vipul Shah has announced a film called The Kerala Story, which is also based on true events. It narrates the stories of girls who went missing from Kerala and never returned home.

A teaser was dropped recently and it will send shivers down your spine. The film is about human trafficking.

The announcement teaser begins with a clock ticking past midnight. We are then posed with a question, “If your daughter does not return home till mid-night, how would you feel?”

Then it presents a horrifying fact. In the last 12 years, thousands of girls went missing and never came back. We also hear parents crying in anguish over their missing daughters in the background. A clip of former Kerala CM, VS Achuthanandan is also played in the teaser.

The Kerala Story is based on the true stories of 32,000 girls.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
