The Mollywood superstar is one of the biggest names in the industry. His recent releases include Paappan and Garudan. Anupama, on the other hand, rose to fame with her work in Premam.
Janaki V vs State of Kerala received mixed reviews with critics lauding the story but panning the execution. India Today gave the film 2 stars out of 5.
“With a more cohesive screenplay, restrained editing, and a clearer narrative focus, this courtroom drama could have made a far greater impact,” read a portion of the review.
Despite the mediocre word-of-mouth Janaki V vs State of Kerala has made an impact at the box office. According to Sacnilk, it earned Rs 2.1 crore in two days.
Janaki V vs State of Kerala landed in trouble ahead of its release when the CBFC asked for 96 edits and told the makers to change the character’s name. However, after a round of court-mediated discussions, the number of edits was reduced to two. The character’s name was muted in two courtroom sequences. Moreover, the title was tweaked to reflect the protagonist's full name.
