About 2018 movie 

The 2018 movie is based on the real-life incidents. The film narrates the horror of the disastrous Kerala Floods that happened in 2018. The movie depicts the tale of a community that comes together in the face of shared calamity. 

Hindi version of 2018 faces stiff competition from The Kerala Story 

2018 and The Kerala Story both narrate gripping tales from the Southern state. The box office success enjoyed by 2018 in Kerela has not translated into the box office success of its Hindi version, yet. A reason for the same could be the Adah Sharma starrer The Kerela Story which continues to reign at the box office even on the fourth Friday of its release.
