Just days after Satluj was taken down from ZEE5, reigniting conversations in regards to the fate of movies that tackle difficult, socially relevant subjects, one other thought-provoking film is now waiting to achieve audiences.
The India Story: Slow Poison in Progress, starring Kajal Aggarwal and Shreyas Talpade, is currently awaiting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) ahead of its scheduled worldwide theatrical release.
The India Story Plot
Addressing one of the crucial pressing yet ignored problems with our time, The India Story explores the widespread use of pesticides in farming and the devastating impact they will have on human health. Backed by years of research, the film shines a lightweight on the hidden dangers behind the food that reaches our plates, urging audiences to reflect on a difficulty that affects thousands and thousands of individuals day-after-day.
The teaser has already generated significant attention for its daring and thought-provoking subject. Nonetheless, with the film still awaiting certification, its release stays uncertain.
Director Chettan DK On CBFC Clearance
“It has been a difficult time for movies that dare to discuss uncomfortable realities. Seeing Satluj disappear from an OTT platform and now The India Story still waiting for its CBFC clearance is heartbreaking as a filmmaker. Our intention has never been to create controversy—we simply need to bring a very important issue to the people through cinema. After years of research and labor, all we ask is for the film to be given the chance to achieve audiences. We remain hopeful that The India Story receives its clearance soon so people can watch it and form their very own opinions.”
The India Story Release Date
Presented by Zee Studios in association with MIG Production & Studios, The India Story is directed by Chettan DK and written and produced by Sagar B. Shinde. The film is co-produced by Swati Vinayak Saindane, Anita Jadhav, Vinayak Saindane, Kalpesh Shah, Devyani Khorate, and Prem Joshi.
With conversations around movies inspired by real events and socially relevant subjects becoming increasingly vital, The India Story hopes so as to add to that dialogue by bringing a critical public health issue to the forefront through the ability of cinema.
The India Story is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on July 24, 2026, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil, subject to CBFC certification.
