Reception of the film
Pravin Narayanan directed the Malayalam legal drama, which was released on July 17. It received mixed reviews from critics. While the film was praised for its concept and strong performances, it was criticized for its loose screenplay and overall execution. Even among the ticket-buying audience, the film failed to create any excitement, and word-of-mouth was mixed.
Failed to make it big
Janaki V vs State of Kerala was dragged into a controversy over its title, garnering some attention. It helped attract decent footfalls on the opening day, but the film failed to capitalise on it due to mixed word-of-mouth. This led to a disappointing run during the 4-day extended opening weekend. On weekdays, things became worse, with the film dropping below the 50 lakh mark.
