Overview
King Herod has ruled Judea for over 37 years and believes himself to be supreme. When three wise men from the Far East come to visit him, he is initially pleased, but this pleasure turns to anger when he finds out that they have traveled all the way to witness the birth of the son of God. After they depart, he instructs his Prime Minister to kill all children under the age of 2 years. Herod's instructions are carried out, but they don't find the baby Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem. Jesus, son of Joseph and virgin Mary, has been destined to lead mankind to a better path but must face many challenges, temptations and betrayal from ones he trusted the most, humiliation, torture, crucifixion, and resurrection.

Center
Primary
The film is a direct, literal adaptation of the Gospel of Luke, focusing on the spiritual and moral teachings of Jesus Christ without explicitly endorsing or critiquing modern political ideologies. Its primary objective is evangelism through the presentation of biblical narrative, which transcends contemporary political divides.
This 1973 Malayalam film about Jesus features a cast of Indian actors, which aligns with its regional production context rather than an intentional race swap for DEI purposes. The narrative is a traditional religious biography, focusing on biblical themes without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit modern DEI themes.
Secondary
Jesus of Nazareth, a historical figure, was Semitic and from the Middle East. In the 1973 film, the character of Jesus is portrayed by Gemini Ganesan, an Indian (South Asian) actor. This constitutes a portrayal by an actor of a different racial background.
The film 'Jesus' by P.A. Thomas, a biographical account of Jesus Christ, contains no discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses solely on traditional biblical events and figures, without any representation of queer identity or related storylines.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film portrays biblical and historical figures such as Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the disciples, all of whom are depicted with their historically and canonically established genders. No characters are presented with a gender different from their source material.
