What did Tovino Thomas say about 'The Kerala Story' (2023)

Back in 2023, Tovino Thomas had expressed his opinions about the Sudipto Sen-directed 'The Kerala Story'. He had said, "See, I haven’t watched that movie yet, and I haven’t spoken to anyone who has watched it. I saw the trailer. Its description said ‘32,000 women…’ and then they themselves changed it from 32,000 to 3."He had added, "What does that mean? As far as I know, there are 35 million people in Kerala, and with these three incidents, nobody can generalize it.
I won’t deny that such incidents may have happened, but three out of 35 million cannot be generalized. Giving misinformation is very bad."
